Becoming HER @alsotheyoungwild - Tumblr Blog

Just to let y’all know where I stand

I used to drive to fast on that road. I used to want to die there. I used to hope that I would take the corner too fast and end up in the trees. I used to transcribe my own obituary while driving too fast down that road. Tonight I wanted that too. But as soon as I topped 65 in the 55 mile zone, I took my foot off the gas. Not sure if that makes me a coward or means I’m not done yet.

If I didn’t tell people about

Being a writer

That time I was sexually abused

The year 2016

My family

Being fat

What would I talk to them about? Because everything links to this right. All of it leads to this. The good and the bad. And if you can’t talk about the good or the bad with people then why are you even talking to them in the first place? Why are you talking at all?

For me:

Being a photographer

Being gay

That time my first girlfriend sexually assaulted me

The year 2012

My body issues

There’s a fine line between “pushing yourself out of your comfort zone” and “pushing yourself into a mental breakdown” and we need to fucking find it and stop encouraging people to do the second in an attempt at making them do the first.
