00:00Gypsy, there are lots of convention photos of you dressed as Star Wars and Harry Potter characters.
00:05Did your experience and what you were going through impact your love of those franchises
00:09in any way, and is cosplay something you hope to get back into?
00:14Um, you know, a little bit. I'm not gonna lie, a little bit. I think that like looking at old
00:20pictures of me wearing different costumes and stuff, even though the interest is there,
00:28um, I can't help but have like a small part of me that still feels like when I put on a costume,
00:36I'm put back in that time. Um, and that's just something that I'm gonna have to work through
00:41with a therapist, you know, I still have a lot of triggers that they might be extremely subtle.
00:47Um, so that that's actually could potentially be one of them. That's definitely not on the
00:54extreme side, but on the subtle side of the trauma that happened.
00:58I want to add to that. I think you're right when you, she probably wore those cosplay outfits and
01:05costumes to get out of the current life she was living with her mother. So it was like an escape.
01:10Right.
01:10And I think she loves who she is now as a woman, as a person.
01:14And I'm more confident now.
01:15Right. So I guess she's right when she puts on that costume,
01:19she's escaping a good life that she has now. So she probably might not want to do it as much.
01:23Right.
01:24So I can see that.
01:25Even though I've got a major interest in all of, you know, cosplay and everything,
01:29it's beautiful to look at. Um, but I don't feel the need.
01:33Right.
01:33To change my identity. Whereas before I felt the need to change my identity.
01:38To escape. Absolutely.
