HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY @animesocialnexus🎂🥳

6 years ago today I pushed my fears aside & went out of my comfort zone to start a social group! Before Anime Social Nexus (or, then, Anime Secret Society) took off, I was selectively mute & never could’ve imagined I’d be who I am today.

As someone with severe social anxiety from years of bullying/being ostracized, it’s my biggest fear to put myself out there & let myself feel close to people. I’ve had so many people I thought were my friends leave me if they thought I was weird for my nerdy side. It led to me becoming scared to even talk or attempt making friends at all. I often hid things I loved because I wanted to fit in with the few friends I did have.

Later in high school & in college, I stopped caring so much about what people thought of me. I made some lovely friends who still wanted to keep me around despite my weirdness, like @the_gboj & @jess_amberger ❤ But I still wasn’t good at talking to new people, especially when we had no common interests.

Between 2016-2019, I was so depressed because of the world going to shiz & realizing some things I wanted to change in myself. I came out of that by learning to fully, openly be myself, especially in regard to being a queer person. When the pandemic happened soon after, I made a vow to make a change, put myself out there & attempt to make a few new friends — and the Nexus was born!

I never expected the group I started to have anime watch parties in my parents’ backyard would turn into a COMMUNITY — a safe haven/welcoming space where all kinds of people can come together, just be who they are & be proud of it.

I’ve met so many lovely, true friends who support me unconditionally—even the ones who’ve known me as 3 different genders🤣 To have so many people in my life like this is a dream come true & I’m so thankful to be a part of this. Within the past 6 years, I’ve become so much more confident in myself. I genuinely love being me — and it’s because of all of you.

I’ll continue doing my best to help all nerds find a place they feel they belong. I’m so incredibly honored to be here today, creating a space I’ve always wanted growing up for all of you ❤️🥹

“Oh yeah, I need to post about Halloween weekend.”

Soooo Halloween, our house (and half the neighborhood) lost power! We got 15 trick or treaters, heh. But we made the most of it! My parents doing alcohol alchemy, I made a roaring fire, and @frankenlocker and I found the Sims board game at Target for $20! (Well done game, very enjoyable. Worth the $20.)

On Saturday, I joined friends at the @animesocialnexus Spooktacular Halloween party! I was… The Spirit of Halloween! Potion earrings, bat jewelry, spider makeup, skull bracelet, a cauldron of candy, practical shoes, and a jack o’ lantern I carved earlier in the day! (Unfortunately I forgot to take a pic of the makeup when the look was completed. 😅)

As for tags! In order… @jacksons1992 @jeshua.rodrig @puffknuckles @stevenjvalle @chris_be_bacon304 @meghans_door @petalburbs @ex.spectator96 @flavadave140 @queenofplatypuses @mizubimayhem @the_gboj @dieharrell (I know I missed people and I don’t remember people’s usernames, so if I missed you, PLEASE let me know your username so I can tag you!)
