omg yesss!
Same! It's hard, isn't it? Your network super conservative? A lot of mine are lol. It feels like this weird (and lame) secret
Though, I think some of them would be OK, some of fam and friends really wouldn't, and once you tell one, you've got to tell everyone. And I don't want it to be a confrontation or it to turn into gossip, so ... I guess starting instagram from scratch it is!
I've had to completely separate my socials and writing from my real life and actual name. It's been kind of freeing, though, so it's all good
