How do you define truth?

What you see as reality which may be different or similar to everyone else’s.

What’s your favorite part about being THE fantasy?

Maybe being A fantasy, one of the few, it’s a lot. Especially as a trans woman, that’s all any interest is directed towards in the first place, but once reality sets in of just being a human, experiencing those realities, it’s moreso easier to be left for the sake of the fantasy staying just that.
