PatchworkPants Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Hello! I decided my username based on my favorite colorful and vibrant pair of pants, so an easy name could be Patchy. I’m a 27 y/o gay trans guy with a history of hurt and denial. It started in childhood. But as of August-September of 2025, I left a 8 year relationship with an abusive woman. I should’ve left years ago, and I’ve been on a wild journey since. It’s been hard, but a friend recommended After Silence since I’m ready to engage in deeper healing with a community. Video games, writing and art are my biggest hobbies. I especially enjoy typography, collecting fonts, and lettering. Sometimes I do lettering art that releases a lot of my feelings, and it would be nice to letter about healing sometime. I also enjoy meditation and am developing my practice now that I’m free. Have a good day everyone! Nice to meet you. Link to post
