“It can feel like hamster wheel shit. My mental health gets in the way. I forget there’s a sun sometimes. But if I died today, my testament would be my community. It’s this huge queer community. Every color of the fucking rainbow. Every gender, every race, every orientation. Right now we’re having a memorial for our friend Tommy. Biggest queen ever, beautiful. Most everyone here has had to walk through life with difficulties. The way they present themselves hasn’t always been seen, or respected, or honored. But they’re still unapologetically existing. And they’re giving a lot of love. They might not have been shown a lot of love, but they’re giving a lot of love. No gender bias, no race bias, no financial bias. All they see is flesh, blood, and a fucking soul. I’ve walked among some of the most beautiful humans on earth. I forget that sometimes. I need to be more respectful of that. I’m living a life that a lot of people want. I’m surrounded by love.”
The commercial visibility of Pride over the past few years has often excluded the voices of those most marginalized.

I'm putting something together and needed some extra friends to fill the space ~

i just wanna say that even if you have degenerative diseases, life can still get better with age. i don't know how long i have left and i just seem to keep getting sicker, but im steadier and happier and more secure in myself than ever.
i started my 20s healthy and my 30s deathly ill and i'm much happier now. i wouldn't even trade health for everything else i've gained since.
contrary to the popular misconception, health isn't everything or even the most important thing. it's good to have! but you can make a happy life as a sick person, in whatever time you have
really touched that this is starting to reach more people, and the replies and tags and comments are 💙
