@SessiBlanchard this is terrifying and absolutely enraging! besides sharing tf out of this, is there anything folks can do to help/anything u need? i'm not in the area but can sure as hell donate and boost tf out of venmo/gofundme if it helps any.
my biggest fear as a gay is to unintentionally fall into the same toxic behaviors perpetuated by str8 cis men (which ofc is bound to happen bc SOCIETY) & i feel like it's always important to be self aware n check in on urself
i wanna prune relationships that no longer serve me. let go easily. waste less time on things that don't matter ultimately. find better, quicker ways to calm my anxiety so i can take care of myself, sleep better, & have longer days.
i wanna be more decisive with how i use my time and energy. i want to make & maintain more supportive & nourishing friendships. i want to start & finish life projects. i want to TRAVEL (whenever $ allows), adventure, truly experience all i can w/ ppl i love.
itโs tragic how quick and easy it is to praise men for the bare minimum bc weโre so used to them being straight up trash but doing so just perpetuates the cycle of them doing the LEAST to be a decent human being
it's revealing af when ur going thru some scary health shit & have to cancel plans, & the other person just goes 'lol' & isn't concerned for u like any decent human being
IDK who needs to see this, but:
Please start your project. Sure you might lack some resources, time might be scarce, & you may be tired. But start it. Just do one paragraph or line of code or sketch or whatever.
I believe in you & your idea, whoever you may be. Make it happen.
