Textual Thoughts

As I'm reading Stonewall's Legacy: Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Students in Higher Education for my upcoming program, it has me thinking really hard about my own path to accepting my queer identity.

If I could change anything in my Life, it would be for the young Me to actually have xposure to real life queer individuals.  Maybe that's something that lots of queer folk wish for.  I just know for my painfully shy, emotionally abused younger self, this support would have made so many things easier.  And maybe I wouldn't have had to wait for fifteen years to be able to look myself in the mirror and say, "It's nice to finally meet you.  All of you."

But I can't spend my life wishing for 'what ifs' or 'if onlys'; there's no progress to be made that way.

"...better press on...."
