This book is our story. A story of secrets, survival, and soft revolutions. A queer, neurodivergent, heart-filled phoenix kind of story. One that doesn’t pretend to be polished. One that asks only for your presence.

If you’ve ever felt different, unsafe, unseen—this is for you.

And if you’ve never felt that, read this anyway. It might change the way you see someone close to you.

We’re so glad you’re here.

Let’s begin.

This isn’t just a memoir—it’s an invitation. After each chapter, you’ll find guided reflections. Use them. Pause. Write in the margins. Cry if you need to. Heal what surfaces. Whether you’re queer, neurodivergent, a parent, sibling, friend, therapist, ally, or simply human—these pages are a space for your story too. Because this book isn’t only about me—it’s about all of us. And your story deserves to be written.
