This being not only a new account, but navigated solely through the website, is causing me considerable irritation at the dire state of my technological navigation. I have yet to inform myself of grammatical errors, so you may be blessed with the sight of them (hopefully not often). All of this is being written mobile, so forgive me on typos.
That said, welcome to my page! I hope your day is treating you splendidly. Please keep in mind common boundaries when commenting :). I seek to use this as a creative outlet, however wish to spread awareness and a safe space for those in need of one.
I plan to write a short (?) on my own queer experiences in hopes that my words can extend to others in a comforting tone. Representation if important, especially in a society that commonly shuns and discriminates against minorities. Minorities need solidarity in their fight for rights and acceptance.
To those who are young, please know you are not alone. You are not stuck here forever and will find a place where you can be your true self. Safety come first, so please keep that in mind. Your feelings and identity are completely valid. People will try to tell you who you are, but you are the only one who can define who you are. Remember, blood does not have to mean family.
If anyone needs it, please call the suicide hotline:
1-800-273-8255 and this will be changing to a three digit number later this year (I will update).
Boundaries:
Use trigger warnings. This is an absolute must for certain topics. I would prefer if suicidal ideation and self harm are left out of conversations, since even while you will not be judged here, you will not be properly helped. I am not a mental health professional and venting always needs to be consensual.
A good resource for lgbtq+ hotline is the Trevor project.
Trans resource: genderspectrum.org
Don’t be afraid to ask (respectful) questions that are queer/advice relates :))! Especially if binding etc.
