I Found Peace in the Violence
I wish that I could sit down with my younger self and take all of her self-hatred and loathing and explain to her the truth that would bloom out of her life. It took me so long to figure out who I am and grow into who I am today. I still have so much growth to do. When I was younger church was a huge part of my life. My friends were there, my family was there. I grew up in one church for most of my life.

Sight
Sight A stale, foul odor rose from the little lagoon in the middle of my paradise. The wind picks up and wafts away the awful stench of algae and decay, only to be replaced by the sweet smell of German Chamomile, Plumeria, and Oak. The mixture inflamed my senses. I drank in this welcome aroma in tall glasses as I reached back to my faraway home. I drifted in the limbo of time to when I was a little girl sitting on sandy beaches.

My coming out Journey
My journey to figure out who I am was a long one. It was long but, in some ways, easier than most coming out journeys. I never really felt different when I was young. I started to notice I was a little different. I was always the friend. It happened almost immediately when I met new people. Getting friend zoned so fast was the first clue. The second was that I was interested in both girls’ and boys’ bodies. It was necessarily sexual at that point.

Let’s Have a Conversation about Gender Identities
Some people might think that the pride movement is only about homosexuality and gender non-conformity. However, this movement is more complex than the actual revindications of the LGBTQ+ communities. Because the exclusions of these people have considerable drawbacks on our societies. And their inclusions give way to a brighter future.
