I just like the remind myself that at the end of the day, what’s it matter. People think what they think, people come and they go. But all that matters is my self esteem and the thoughts and opinions of those handful of people who actually know me xxx
Loving this share on celebrating all of the evolving parts of you! Bliss! Sending you lots of well wishes for continued safe travels and nourishing spaces.
I'm still on a long journey to love all the parts of myself. I won't deny them, and the political bits of me - my queerness, my disabilities - my mental illness - are things I have long refused to be anything but proud of. I survive. I can speak without fear. That makes me more fortunate than many. Especially now. Our UK leader might be an ass-kissing coward, but he doesn't reflect me, my country, or my people.
I'm afraid for peopIe love. I want them to be safe and they're not, and I can't do a thing to make it better except be someone who loves them.
I left substack ages ago because of their delight in allowing fascists on here. Maybe it's time to come back. Not conceding space might be more important now. I don't know. But everything I do online is part of the fight, even if it's just me posting about games and books and my pets and Cuddles, because everything is part of the whole and being on 24/7 is unhealthy so I bave to do both sides.
Maybe putting everything back on here would help. Not sure how far my energy will stretch, but maybe... I'll see how it goes.
But I'll continue my queer podcast. And writing my new book. And other writing. And socials. And just try to be the best I can be for the people that need it.
"I can't do a thing to make it better except be someone who loves them." And folks are so lucky to have your love! May we all be love even if that is all we can be it is already so much more than many 🧡🧡🧡
Keep putting your work into the world. We need it! 🧡

🧡🧡🧡 YES! YES! YES! Absolutely! XOXO
A movie scene from one of my favourites came to mind listening to your words….

Kick that bass drum, cut that hair, dance your own dance, live your best life!
Your words are a great reminder for us all that it’s never too late to be us!
Brilliant writing as always L! ✨🌙
