I had planned to quote a letter that I had written to my beloved grandmother on 3 February 2018 as the caption. This particular excerpt concerned notions of duty and faithfulness, of, in her words, keeping the line in times of hardship or duress. But, as I typed out the excerpt, it felt cheap and unnecessary to share private moments with a person who is so pivotal to my development. But keeping the line is hard and the urge to give up and fail, to sacrifice my notions of queer solidarity and personal success is hard to overcome in site and situation specific some moments. She is right: keep the line; hold the progress; to yield victory is to die. #vsco #vscocam #florida #miami #thisispussypalace
