Jessy. I love this - seeing your face and hearing your voice, warms my heart. And Perry’s music and the visuals you all added were warmly beautiful. I know that the amount of work a video like this takes and I want you to know how much it’s appreciated.

So much of your writings and feelings resonate with me as someone who grew up in some similar circumstances. Your words help make me feel like that me, that kid, was not alone because someone else was going through something similar.

Always know how much you and your family are loved, appreciated, and seen. ❤️

Aww thank you! Oof, yeah. A ton of work went into this and it's only six minutes long haha. It's a fun project though, and I like creating alongside Perry. I need to figure out a way to make them shorter, more digestible. Like maybe I just read a quick excerpt of my more recent essays instead of reading the whole thing. Sigh. I don't know. I resent our current instant gratification culture where everything has to be bite-sized and only seconds long or people can't retain it. I rebel against feeding into it, but at the same time, I get it. It's the way of the world, and in the end, my story is so much bigger than me and my little opinions.

You are not alone in your story, love, and have never been. I'm so glad to hear that my words resonate with you. I'm forever on the quest of understanding who I was, who I am, and who I am becoming.
