a note on this space
a collection of raw thoughts,
soft grief, and everything i had to grow around too early. for anyone who has ever felt like they had to become a person
before they got to be a kid.

personal statement
boyhood interrupted comes from the feeling that my boyhood was never fully mine. like parts of it were cut short, rushed, or shaped by the people and circumstances around me before i even had the words for it. this space is me trying to name that — the tenderness, the anger, the confusion, the queerness, the nostalgia, the shame, the beauty. all of it.
bio

this blog is not about having everything figured out. it is about writing from the middle of becoming. boyhood interrupted comes from the feeling that parts of my childhood moved too quickly, that i had to grow up before i was ready, and that so much of who i am now was shaped by family, identity, love, memory, queerness, and the quiet weight of learning how to survive.

this space is for the thoughts that do not always arrive polished. the ones about growing up too fast, carrying more than people realize, loving deeply, feeling too much, and trying to make meaning out of everything that once felt confusing.

boyhood interrupted is for anyone who has ever felt like they had to become a person before they got to be a kid. a place for queer, honest, emotional thoughts that do not need to be perfect to be real.
