I want to get to the point where I can be myself, entirely, without reservation or embarrassment, and there’s nothing to apologize for.

🌟

you are enough...

...even on the days when you feel like a failure. even when you feel like you could have done more. even when you people tell you otherwise.

you are enough then, just as you are enough now. be proud of who you are ✨

Who you are is enough. You are enough. You can be authentic and be loved at the same time. You don't have to earn love by being whatever the other person needs you to be. You can be yourself and find happiness, joy and love. It is okay to walk away from those who demand you to adjust to who they want you to be instead of who you are right now. You deserve more than conditional love, you deserve more than having to earn love, than feeling like you have to beg for breadcrumbs of affection because you are never good enough for them. Find people who love you for your authenticity, who already think you are good enough just as you are right now.

It’s important to find people who make you realize there is nothing wrong with being who you are.

does the universe really test you?

i doesn’t feel like it’s safe or “right” to say or even choose the perspective that “things are going wrong” or “omg… the universe is and wants to test me” because there’s nothing outside of yourself really.

who gave you that thought and that mindset? yourself. it was YOU. you accepted it.

you are interpreting it that way. you are NOT doomed, you are not being “tested” for more, you are definitely NOT being “punished” and you DO NOT “ need to pass any tests”.

the universe, is all you. it’s all a mirror.

do you really believe you are being tested?? then you are because that’s the mindset and perspective you’re choosing to have about it. we are free to believe whatever we want for ourselves, we are free to believe we are being tested or whatever else we decide to believe.

it is all neutral. it isn’t black or white, there is a whole wheel of colors and you choose what color you want. you choose your favorite color= favorite experience.

you choose what you want to experience within you.

you really don’t even need to assign any meaning to anything you see because it is just nothing without you or without the meaning you as consciousness give it.

you can ask yourself: does this actually have meaning? (spoiler: no it does not, you GIVE IT, you give the meaning to it, it is nothing without it other than a variable, you are the INPUT, you give the input)

you can even go and explore further and ask yourself: do I want to give this meaning? or leave it as a neutral variable, for what it is? the neutral variable it is.

what do i desire to experience? what do I want to experience within and how do I want to see this situation?

you’ll realize and see that you are actually free to give it any meaning you want, if you want to, and there are infinite meanings you can assign to it, but does it need your input and of your energy to have a meaning? do you need to use your energy on giving this meaning?

does that add to your experience?

what do you want out of your experiences now?

give that to yourself. whatever that is, give it to yourself. you deserve to experience all that your heart desires. all of it.

but just know you dont have to assign any meaning to anything you do not wish to experience or give your energy to a variable, it is irrelevant to give attention to what you deem as something that won’t benefit you and your experience.

what you focus on grows, so focus and give your energy to those experiences that you do want in the now.

make within your heaven and this will reflect in every part of your being, of your experience here, in the now.

there is no tests, there is no suffering, you are not doomed(everything reallyyy is just neutral!), everything exists already in the now. which means, you are now that which you desire to be and you are now experiencing that which you desire to experience if you allow yourself to do so and accept it for yourself.

enjoy that. enjoy the feeling and your experience now.

you are the universe, why would you want to punish yourself? give yourself that which you love.

give yourself heaven. create it and give that to yourself. within.

with love, erin ☆

i think being on twitter and tumblr/just starting to overly ramble and be myself more has actually been beneficial for me overall not only because it's really healthy but because it has allowed me to improve at learning to know what words I want to use which is something I've struggled with a lot in my life but it's becoming a little less of an issue now

Srry this is a vent.

Today was the first time i actually was scared for my safety as a trans kid. We were talking about discrimination and when the topic lgbtq was slightly mentioned i heared my deadname being said very quietly. I am not out but in a very accepting area. My class may be queerphobic, but this really made me worry that one day when i might come out some people might actually try to harm me in any way.

-Leo

Hey dude,

Leo is an awesome name btw, I love it! I have unfortunately had experience of transphobia/queerphobia as I am not out to everyone, but quite a few people.

Some people are really transphobic and do try to hurt trans people. I have been called slurs and recieved hate, those people are horrible.

But some people are really kind. The sort who will call me a boy and give me huge gender euphoria just to see me smile, those people are amazing.

As much as being trans can be hard, and people can be unkind, being yourself is so freeing and I wish I could be out to everyone.

And then one day you realize you've been mourning a love that you never actually had and you pick yourself up and you look around and you see the actual thing... Staring you in the face. The thing you thought someone else had for you.... That they repeatedly told you was yours. The thing that had dangled like a carrot just out of reach. That had you betraying yourself and falling for lies and making excuses for someone to hurt you and not care about you at all. That thing shines so bright in someone else's eyes for you, just for you and just for being you. You think back on what it cost you... Almost everything... From the wrong person. You realize, life is good again and that there is hope and you can't believe how fortunate you are just for being treated like you matter.

for Taylor.

Brad knew there was no more clear or better place to be free to express yourself, to be who you are without judgement, and to promote positive self image of men who like men, than a fiercely competitive nationally televised drag competition that culminated in a paraded showdown of its self-proclaimed losers deemed so via unquestioned, ambiguous, and unwritten rules.

Did you get all of that? Read it again if you need to. The library will be open for a minute.

It was true. Just in the last ten minutes of that show viewers were forced to jump through more flossy hoops than in Fergie’s earring collection just to justify their own sanity and get hooked for another episode. It was hardly surprising straight women could relate. When it came to meeting the many sets of expectations and double standards put forth by society, were we not all consumed in various orders of intricate dance?

Brad knew he could make anything WERK in part because as a gay man he had to from the get go. He could make whatever was thrown at him WERK in the very same sense slapping the word irony on anything instantly made it ironic. The difference of course being irony didn’t actually take any work. What presented itself on the show was WERK, a hole different level (yes, hole is spelled correctly), and according to gay legend that made drag OK.

Anyone could make something ironic, and it’s usually by accident. Where it gets tricky is doing it with any thread of intention. You sure better make like Madonna and make it an art or you are that person wearing the printed t-shirt and the embroidered hat that does speak truth as proclaimed but don’t realize it’s actually about them.

Eeek. That’s always painful to come across for many reasons. For one, it’s a good guess the poorly threaded failed to friend any gay men or black women because neither have the time for something like that. Each would save the other a step at the register and likely ask for the money since they’re just throwing it away anyway.

Slap a WERK on instead, and what you already knew to be nothing is suddenly something because the gays navigate more than a google of hoops just to walk out that front door. Yes. That was worth repeating.

That’s right. No need to ask ladies, the ‘Amens!’ are are all up in here already. It is just how it is right now. At least that’s what it felt like to Brad.

As many in the erotic dancer and male model industries, Brad held no doubt that show went mainstream via the same well mirrored thread as the flick Pretty Woman just with the reverse set of players. Not everyone was on board, but it was enough sassy razzle dazzle in the right place at the right time with just enough tattered frames of attention to get through.

Both earned enough money to let ruffled feathers go, and it remain tolerated by the others as it’s understood as a one time deal. Once deemed ironic something can’t be made more ironic. The same notion apparently applied here.

Brad also knew if you make the impossible WERK the first time, you’re not going to go through it again. It’s far too exhausting and who wants to live by the skin of their teeth where they already do? You’ve been there. You are there. You made it happen, and any decent queen knows how to make her peace…

‘Did everyone not see the mf rain just now?!? Sky. Water. Fell. You’re welcome. Ok then. I gots to go!’

The door slams and that’s what happened.

WERK!

The show goes on because it must.

It was here Brad heard the snap of his own finger.

Pulled out of his own thoughts and still leaning against the palm tree in his shiny new speedo, Brad realized he was really gay. Like really really REALLY gay.

Brad let out a sigh and took note of his bulge.

Well, that certainly explained having a boyfriend.

It explained quite a bit actually.

Looking at things a little closer, Brad could say this much as to his newly realized gayness…

As long as he put out, Brad felt confident his boyfriend Chris would be ok with everything.

And that he was.

"it's like when you're talking to your friends. You're not sitting, judging yourself before you say it, because that usually happens when you're young. You're thinking, well I've got to behave a certain way. It's like, no, don't do that, do you." - RuPaul.

I'm watching RuPauls Drag Race season 14.

I used to hang out with ppl who didn't like how I said certain things, what I said and how I said it. Everything I said and did, was judged. That's not kind. That's not kind in the slightest.

I couldn't be myself bc they didn't like that. I HAD TO act a certain way and it's always "professionalism".

Not just the drama toxic group, but a few content creators (from a few years ago to recent) and even irl friends. EVERYTHING was "professionalism" 🙄.

It's funny how they act all professional, yet they weren't successful. You can act all you want hunty, it doesn't get you anywhere in life.

I found out, acting like you're a professional, is fake af hunty.

I don't understand why I couldn't be myself around them. I know why...

They didn't like me. They NEVER liked me.

So I'm not apologising anymore for being my extra sassy self. And IF ppl don't like that, that's not my problem. It's theirs.

I love being my extra sassy self, I love wearing colourful makeup, my black lipstick and my goth witchy fashion

You shouldn't have to apologise for being you. You shouldn't have to change for other ppls standards. You just shouldn't.

Be you, because you are the best you 💜
