One is a lesbian hippie, who is very spiritual, she's white with red hair, and has very absent parents, but she barely depends on them. The other girl is black, goth, and bisexual, who's parents are very overprotective. The hippie girl compartmentalizes her feelings, and try to constantly pretend she's okay, when she's not. The goth girl has a lot of sadness and is rejected at school, so she expresses her feelings with writing and poetry and can lash out at people. They both face extreme family issues and homophobia and biphobia in their town. The goth girl faces a lot of racism and has a really traumatic past, and struggles with extreme depression and anxiety. The hippie girl can't be truly who she is at home and is forced to depend on her friends for comfort. They're both in love with each other, but both refuse to say anything. I would recommend just reading the story to find out more! I'd like to dedicate this very short story based on my gay loneliness, that probably no one will read to my family. Not my biological family, obviously. My actual one. The bunch of gay goths and cottagecores, and alts who I talk to each day that keep me here. You guys are the actual best, and I'm sorry I made you read this. I love you guys, and one day we're getting twelve cats, NO EXCUSES.
