    One time a long time ago one of my friends told me I texted like a girl because I used :3 and other ascii emotes a lot.

    And that’s how I got my first crack in my shell :3

      I was always self conscious in text and careful to be as “normal” as possible. After coming out, I instinctually stared using all the exclamation marks and emotes that I always wanted to use! 🥰
