**The story behind “Effect on Me” 🎵**

For months, I wrestled with one truth that wouldn’t let go: just because someone won’t acknowledge the hurt doesn’t mean it isn’t real.

That single thought became *Effect on Me*.

**Today only:** Bandcamp waives its fees, meaning your support flows directly to more studio time and keeping the lights on 💡

**What you’ll find in this track:**
- Verses that name what we often can’t say out loud
- A chorus that refuses to apologize for feeling
- A bridge that returns what was never ours to carry

This one’s for anyone who’s stopped waiting for an apology that isn’t coming. For those learning that validation starts from within.

• Share if someone needs to hear it
• Drop a comment: which line hits different? does this resonate with you?

Thank you for being here, for listening, for feeling it with me.

For anyone who ignored the 🚩🚩🚩, whose love and empathy were weaponized against them, who fell in love with potential, “Effect on Me” just dropped on Bandcamp. It’s the anthem you blast while blocking them on every platform. Play it loud and share it with someone who’s taking their peace back.

It’s been a heavy and deeply transformative chapter behind the scenes. I’ve been navigating a personal situation that completely upended my living circumstances, emotional world, and the life I thought I was building. I’ve had to let go of things I wasn’t ready to lose, face fears I never expected, and begin rebuilding from a place I didn’t choose. It’s been extremely painful, and honestly, I’m still in the middle of it.

That said, there’s light breaking through.
I’m really excited to share that I just started a new job as a Shift Supervisor at @starbucks , and it feels like a major step toward reclaiming stability, independence, and joy. It’s not a fresh start, it’s a return. I’m coming back to myself.

I don’t always find it easy to reach out, but I know I can’t do this alone. If you have spare furniture, home essentials, affordable housing leads, or even just kind words, I’d be deeply grateful. Every bit of care helps right now, and it means more than I can say.

Thank you to everyone who’s held space for me, seen or unseen. I feel it.

Love y’all,

this June I found so many reasons to be #proud™️ 🏳️‍🌈

- On the 3rd, I was terminated for reasons still yet to be revealed to me, but actually it’s big #slay that I got the opportunity to sign my first ever SHEtainer for legal counsel. It’s also given me the chance to have no money and no job prospects! Come thru mawma!

- Talk about #solidarity! It’s truly heartwarming to know that despite literally saving my roommate’s life, my mere existence is so unbearable to him that he’d prefer I risk homelessness again rather than tolerate me for one additional month! And, as a gesture of gratitude, he’s cut off my WiFi access by changing passwords, destroying my router, and hoarding the modem in his room. #respectgayelders Lucky me! I might get to sign another SHEtainer… 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

-

All things aside I’m grateful for my little fur child who has to endure too much in her old age. One day we will have live in a home for more than one year. 🩷🩷🩷 here are some of my recent favs shots of her.

and also CHARLI BABBBY!!! everything is 😇 ROMANTIC 👹 UNNNHHHH 😩😩😩😩 I RIDE 4 U CHARLIE taken in Corporate Pride by @barrette_
