Weird the things you do and worry about when you’re hiding so much of yourself away.
Needless to say, it’s better on this side of the door. Living your authentic self is 1000x better than hiding.

When I heard this song in Koreatown this weekend it was like flashback. I knew every word, could see the cd in my car, and remembered thinking “Ok, this is a band with a MALE singer that I really like, that will help” because I was still in the closet.
Somedays you just need to remember what made you start the thing to begin with. Remember the joy at the beginning and know that once you’re through the hard part the joy will come back. Keep going. Trust the Process.

The last few days, after all the turmoil that’s coming down the pipeline from the many many many SCOTUS decisions, this song has been blaring in my head.
Sometimes you just need to slow yourself down.
Breathe. We’re gonna be ok. It’s not near over, but it’s ok to rest when you need to.
Listen to the first verse, it’s more relevant now even than it was then.
