temple-life:

When I first cut my hair, I was misgendered by a lot of folks and got really insecure. So then I would try to wear pink or other really feminine clothing/colors to compensate for orientation and hair cut and make myself feel “pretty.”

And then one day, I decided I loved myself more than anything else and said an eternal “fuck you” to anyone else’s ignorance or hatred.

And now,
I am well.
I am queer.
I am proud.
I am always beautiful……and some days (like today), I still wear pink just because I can.
