rereading a book i loved in high school to annotate a copy. remembering why it connected w me so much
#its the miseducation of cameron post btw
#i read it literally 3 times in the space of 2mos almost back to back
#i brought it on two trips- that was the year we went to austria and the year i went to national music camp
#and like. yeah. yeah i guess that was why
#smth abt that book just really cuts to the heart of what it was like for me growing up in the church
#my church wasnt the wbc or anything ofc but like. they also werent/arent queer affirming and its hard to explain how it hurt me
#bc everyone expects a story where someone sits me down and like. threatens to beat me if im gay or whatever
#that didnt happen. its just that i figured out by osmosis from this environment that i was wrong and that i should be ashamed
#and nobody ever challenged that assertion so it stuck for years afterwards
#its like growing up in a house w mold in it youll never really know that its there until youre told but you know smth is hurting you
#and by the time you realize what it is its gonna take fucking forever to remove
#and thats how it is w cameron! she knows long before shes sent to the camp
#i just keep coming back to how everyone who went to nationals w me came back talking abt this amazing spiritual experience they had
#and how much it meant to them to be able to go
#and all i was thinking was that i didnt make even 1 friend and everyone treated me like i was fucking diseased the entire time
#the guys didnt want me around bc i was a girl and the girls didnt want me around bc i wasnt a girl to them
#my roommate acted scared of me from day fucking one and i still dont really know why. wouldnt stay in the room w me
#i would sit down somewhere in the common area and people physically turned away from me to have their own conversations
#i think they knew. i wasnt out at camp ofc but im p sure they knew smth was up w me
#levi.txt
#idk. i dont have a Trauma to point to but i feel like calling the effects of what the church did to me religious trauma is appropriate
#it fucked me up so so bad. i had to work through so much shit and im still not out of it
#today im not ashamed of being queer but im still discovering new issues that living like that gave me all the time
#ultimately. im ok rn dw just thinking a lot. its a great book im glad to reread it and really analyze it! its fun
