This is beautiful. Getting the makeup right in the third try is very reliable. I also loved the line about your uncostume. It says a lot in so few words. Getting to dress up for Halloween and feeling more free than what you usually wear. Part of you always knowing you don't belong in the box they keep putting you in. Very brave to share your journey so others might relate.

Forever jealous of your lines: she stuck the landing

You always do, though.

Poetry is always more real and impactful when read by the author. Looking back and through, finding courage, and driving forward and all of the unique details of you in between were poignant. Felt them. Thank you. ❤️
