if you don’t support #blacklivesmatter, unfollow me.

if you think that the riots are too much, unfollow me.

if you don’t think that change needs to happen now, unfollow me.

if you refuse to recognize your privileges, unfollow me.

if you’re not a decent human being, unfollow me.

Reminder that Stonewall wasn’t about marriage equality. Stonewall was about police brutality. It was about systemic abuse and subordination. Stonewall was spearheaded by black trans women. As we celebrate Pride 2020, within the context of the Black Lives Matter riots, it’s imperative that we remember that.

Riots in protest of police brutality are the reason that we have more rights today. Do not forget your roots.

You can’t celebrate Pride while simultaneously condemning the Black Lives Matter riots and protests that are happening right now. Know your history.

A reminder for myself

It is okay to move on.

It is okay to be healing

after being broken for so long.

There is no reason for guilt.

They broke you over and over.

Time after time.

It is okay to forgive them,

yet not want them in your life.

Your feelings are valid;

You are valid.

Gone

I haven’t felt like myself

in a long time.

I’m gone.

Whoever I was,

I’m gone :

Lost,

Lonely,

Sad,

All alone.

I didn’t notice it at first:

The empty hole,

The dim light,

I was gone.

Whatever happened to me?

I’m gone.

A Journey

There are many places for me to go,

Many places where I want to be,

Many things I want to do,

Many things I want to see,

But I don’t think I could do everything,

If that means leaving you behind,

In the dust as I drive on by.

I already asked if you might want to come

On this adventure with me.

All over the world is where we’ll be.

You already have a plan though.

You want everything to stay the same:

Friends, school, work, and play.

I’m a little ashamed to say I don’t want it that way.

I don’t want to go to the same places every single day.

I want to go to Europe.

I want to go to Australia.

I want to go to Asia and South America.

There are plenty of other places I didn’t mention,

But the point is I want to go all over the world.

Most of all I want you by my side.

When I walk through a town in Italy.

When I taste new foods in Japan.

When I listen to beautiful music in France.

You told me you don’t want to be there.

I said I was going anyways,

That it’s always been my dream.

I let you know when the flight was.

I even left a ticket on your black nightstand just in case you would change your mind.

Almost the whole ride I didn’t take my headphones off,

Or move my eyes from the outside.

I was in the sky wondering why you weren’t here.

I pushed those thoughts away.

Seas, grass, and mountains all pass.

The first flight ridden without you,

I made it without tears falling from my eyes.

I was now in Italy, no time to be blue.

Just as I promised myself, I went all over the world.

Little countries, big cities.

Different people, languages, music and food.

I feel happy even though I went through this without you.

Which was something I thought impossible,

Yet here I am now smiling at all the memories I made, and there were no images of you.
