last night, somebody told me that attending Primal Pride 3 years ago is what got them to admit their truth to themself and start transitioning. they told me that they just finished their top surgery. i don't think anybody needs their egg cracked. i think they need to know they will be protected while they do it themself. i think they need to see what a bird in flight looks like.
thinkin about this again and you know what? it's true what they say. you really do have to live, no matter what. the OP wasn't my first time. in the course of doing my own thing i've managed to inspire idk how many queer people to come out or transition or live more outwardly. and if you're visible i'm certain you, yes you reading this, have as well. do you remember the first out and proud lgbtq person you saw whose image cut you to the core? the one that let you think "that could be me"? i do.
you and i gotta be that person for countless other young queer people now. people who may tell you three years from now. people who may never tell you. people who may never even learn your name. but people who will nonetheless remember you. people who will feel a quickening in their breast at the thought of you. people with a long road to walk, but who will turn to face happiness in truth because of you.
