God I absolutely love "Burn Bright" by My Chemical Romance. For ages I did not have a favourite song, but rediscovering it in my college years while i was figuring out my queerness quickly solidified it as the one. Especially the "Not ashamed of what I am" line. It speaks to me on so many levels. and it's just, so good.
Like, the song is at its core about being Queer. But it speaks to me in all the ways I've been dehumanized. Being trans, being queer, being aro, being ace, being autistic, being neurodivergent, being a girl, being a woman, being non-binary, being a victim of abuse, god even being a child and the eldest child and severely traumatized.
Being able to take all of that horrid lived experience, stand up from the ashes and still look at myself, still pick myself up and hold myself to light and be proud and not ashamed? So fucking powerful.
