    Pride isn’t about gays being proud to be gay.

    They are proud to be brave enough to come out of the closet. Especially in a world where they could be beaten to death for it.

    Straights never needed to do that. So there is no need to be proud.

      I think it’s more like “unashamed.” A refusal to hide this essential aspect of oneself.

    It’s cute, everyone wants to feel heard. Age is guaranteed, growing up is not. The world is a much more understandable place when you realize most people are like 9 years old but in a 30+ year old body.

      I just want to get drunk and have fun in the bouncy castle 😭

      No, wait a second. Forget getting drunk, I might throw up in there. Just give me the bouncy castle!

      Because we were all traumatised as children. Psychiatrists talk about this

        Personally my goal is to decrease needless and avoidable suffering for all minds whenever and wherever possible. Not all suffering is needless, like exercise or surgery. Some forms of suffering allow us to come closer to wellbeing mentally and physically.

        They also say you can’t not be traumatized. Trauma is how we learn to do and be better.

    I’m pretty sure it’s December. That’s when I feel the straightest.
