Hello guys just here to wish you all a Happy Pride month, hope you all are having a good time with your friends and partner if u have one. And all of this is comming from a person that when he was a kid didn´t understand why he saw girls only as potential bestfriend lol instead of a futere girlfriend like everyone around him expected. Also as someone who was sent to therapy by a teacher just because I only wanted to play with girls instead of football like the rest of the boys (I am from Argentina and here is very expected for boys to like football and play it, so yeah I was looked as weird thing cause I didn´t like and still don´t like football, except for the world cup lol). So like most kids at that time I found a safe place that is drawing, something that can bring me so much joy but could also bring me frustration but is a frustration that I know I can overcome. But I gotta admit that my safe place got damaged because of some stupid phrase "you will be no one with your drawings" and yes it came from a person that is close to me, but that is something that clearlty didn´t stop me cause I still doing what I love but those questions in my head still there because of that stupid phrase like what if I fuc.. up??? Am i good enough?? Will I be able to achieve what I really want???.... Despite having those thoughts I kept going on and I am not planning on giving up and if u have a favoutite singer that support the lgbtq+, embrace them cause they will protect you from the moment u get to know them. In my case was Lady Gaga I remember when I was 10 and I just happened to be changing channels on the Tv and there she was singing Bad Romance and despite the fact that the only thing I knew about english is how to say hello, I felt a emotional connection that makes me feel happy, energized and safe everytime I hear her voice, something I cant find in another celebrity tbh. Probably cause the way she is weird that despite everyone telling her she is weird she just didnt give a Fu.. and kept being herself, is something that I always admired of her, how she always kept pushing and pushing to reach to where she is now. The fact that she was called weird is something that I can relate with her cause growing up I always felt weird like I didn´t belong there , so growing up I tried doing what other do in order to belong, things that I am not proud of and thank god I left behind, those years of my life were the most misserable ones cause despite doing what other do I was otcasted and bullied, one that still haunts me is when someone created a hotmail similar to mine and sent porn links to all the girls (we were kids and I didn´t even watch porn at that time), I still remember being early in the classroom at 7am and one of the girls with a disgusted face to tell me that all the girls were mad at me of something I clearly haven´t done and I was never able to prove my innocence despite showing proof it wasn´t me but I always had and still have my 2 best friends that have been with me in the good and bad times if they weren´t there idk what would have been of me without a support of friends. Despite of all that crap I still moved on and I still pushing for my dreams to become true. So what I want to tell you is... DON´T GIVE UP YOU ARE NOT ALONE and in case you are alone let me tell you that you are not cause you still have yourself thats why you need to belive in yourself everyday that you wake up and say I am more than what people say about me. And everytime you feel left out or that you just don´t belong remember that there is nothing wrong with you cause baby YOU WERE BORN THIS WAY 😘
And in order to finish this message I will leave a phrase "what happened to me is the least of bad thing that could actually happend to you for being part of the lgbtq+" if you understood this, let me sent u a virtual hug and that I am sorry for whatever you went through.
And remember we don´t celebrate just because we are not straight, we celebrate for the freedom that was taken from us, for that little us that had to pretend in order to not be otcasted, for those who were silenced and no longer can show their bright. W e celebrate to be listened and make history together.
Hope you all have a wonderful month, with Love PACHI.
