Social (Anxiety) Butterflies
I have never been a fan of small talk. Even as a child, I wanted to skip right past the hey how are you, how's the weather and jump right into who their favorite dinosaur was and why. I could learn a lot more about a person by their favorite dinosaur anyway, not how cloudy the sky was. Meeting new people was often anxiety causing then, just as it is now. I'd much prefer if people gave me details about a new person I was meeting, and things we might have in common.

The Importance of Boyfriend by Dove Cameron
For many LGBTQ+ folks, representation in music means changing the pronouns to make it inclusive. Sometimes if we're lucky, songs about dating and relationships aren't as gendered and we can find a bit ourselves there, but more often than not, we're drowned in the heterosexual "norm".

Saved by Horror
I had horrible nightmares as a child. The kind that woke you dripping in sweat and unable to think about anything else. Even movies like Jurassic Park would send me into weeks of nightmares about dinosaurs eating my loved ones. I was a weird kid, but I didn't know that some of the weirdness I was dealing with in myself weren't just the pings and pangs of growing up, they were mental health monsters rearing their ugly heads.
