this pride month
while I don't tend to post about myself (both due to lack of those who see this and because I don't like myself) I figured I could post about my current life.
my blog is like a collection of me. what I like, what I think, what I find appealing... so. its pride. in the year of 2026. 2/3 of the way through both the month and even the year. I haven't gotten to really celebrate myself, and so I'm left with just thoughts. this world isn't for me. this world isn't for us. we get raped, killed, and tortured constantly. we fight each other, seemingly to cope with the fact we aren't wanted.
that won't stop us.
we need to stick together, because we are all we have. we will not and CAN NOT be erased. it isn't possible. no matter what happens, no matter the oppression, no matter the outcome, we will be here. even if we die, even if I die, we won't EVER truly be gone.
this pride month, I've spent it preparing.
preparing for the future and reflecting on the past.
while I should be living in the present, I've been doing anything but.
all things considered, this pride month has been about as amazing as it could've been, especially with the circumstances. that fills me with both hope and anxiety. two opposite feelings. both dreading and excited for the future.
we may not know what's coming. we may be divided and afraid. but we are never going to be erased. we will never be erased.
we will persist. we will return. we will be US.
and in the end, isn't that what pride month is about? ~
my name is robin. I chose this name. I made myself who I am. and I've left behind the hurt. no matter how it returns, no matter the struggles, both external and internal, I am me.
