A Life We're Fighting For

How do I even put into words what is happening? It's an awakening but that sounds so fucking trite.  

I spent years, LITERALLY YEARS, trying to fit into a model that would please him and subsequently anyone.  Begging for attention and validation.  See Me.  Love Me.

Fuck that. 

AND FUCK HIM. 

I will never allow anyone to tell me again who I am and what I'm worth. 

There's so so so much more to say but the feeling is fucking freedom. 

The music, THE FUCKING MUSIC, it's such a loud cacophony that reverberates in my entire body.  

I AM ME AND I AM ALIVE. AND I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS ABOUT ME ANYMORE.   

They can all fucking choke. I am here to celebrate joy, connection, belonging and the beauty of being alive. 

I know, love and feel myself fully. I am gay.  I knew it at four years of age. I will never let anyone tell me who I am ever again.

Let's start here. 


Santigold - Disparate Youth

We said our dreams will carry us
And if they don't fly, we will run

We know now we want more
A life we're fighting for.
