My school did day of silence, and there was literally a cishet couple doing it too. We have great allies at our school, and also a super cool queer community.
THE DAY OF SILENCE IS SO COOL
I FINALLY HAVE AN EXCUSE TO NOT TALK A WHOLE DAY; IT ACTUALLY REALLY HELPED MY MENTAL HEALTH
TURNS OUT, THE PROBLEM WASN'T ALL THE THOUGHTS RICOCHETING THROUGH MY MIND, BUT THAT I TRIED TO SEPARATE MY MIND FROM WHO I AM AS A PERSON
AND BECAUSE I WASN'T TALKING I FINALLY RETREATED BACK INTO THE CONFINES OF MY MIND AND WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AND BOND WITH WHO I REALLY AM
