Out for years. Still adapting.

You’ve been yourself for years. You still adapt. On the habit that no longer needs anaudience

There are men who have been out for years.

They live openly. They have a story. They know who they are.

At work there’s a different version. In bed sometimes too.

Adaptation as loyalty to the environment.

You learn early what’s welcome. What to swallow. What fits.

It works. So well you don’t have to decide anymore.

It just happens.

I got so good at adapting I could barely hear myself anymore.

Many men recognise this. They are themselves. They still perform.

Habits don’t need an audience.

What would be different if no one was watching?
