To the disabled, the sick, the chronically ill this crazy cruel world ignores because you don’t fit the blatant ableism of our society.
To the scared & the fragile.
To those struggling with mental health issues.
To the closeted, to the ones living in places where being yourself is too risky to come out. (Please stay safe🙏🏻)
To those who could come out but are afraid everything will change and nobody will love them anymore if they knew the truth.
To those dealing with dysphoria.
To those transitioning.
To the intersex brothers and sisters.
To the sad ones & the lonely.
To the baby queers embracing their true self & the late bloomers figuring themselves out later in life like me.
To the rejected and the ones no one falls in love with.
To those whose journey into queerness brought little joy so far but made them awfully familiar with loneliness, grief and heartbreak.
To those who feel the gap, the sudden deep sense of non belonging. Of being the one no one can really relate too: too sick, too weird, too lonely, too sad, too loveless.
May things get better for you way sooner than you expect. May life be gentle to you, at last, when you stopped expecting it because no matter what, you deserve it.

Happy Lesbian day of visibility to all lesbians but especially trans/nonbinary lesbians and lesbians of colour ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
i think at some point in life you are going to have to grapple with the fact that nobody is going to just perfectly fit into your idea of them, and nobody is going to slot into your life without any uncomfortable bumps or rubbing of edges, and nobody is going to follow the script you want them to follow or thought they would follow because the people around you, shockingly, are not cardboard cutouts. at some point in life you WILL need to face the, surprisingly, real and messy interiority of other people. and you are going to have to learn to grant them the same nuance, agency and consideration you grant yourself, or want to be granted. and you are going to have to learn to make grace an important factor in what you say and what you assume about others bc i guarantee there is no shortage of grace being offered to you at some point in your life, and not in some transactional sense either but bc it is not that difficult to pause for literally 2 mintues and give people the space to be human and then just....move on with your life.
like i dont think it can be pointed out enough that responding and reacting are two very different things and it's a kindness to your future self to actually learn the difference.
