| This Pride Month we’re celebrating the strength and courage of those who have embraced this journey. Queerness is a journey. Just like everything else that encompasses. Becoming yourself is like growing into a pair of shoes that you never thought would fit. Where the leather needed to be broken into or it just didn’t fit right. Then one day, they’re perfect. They just fit. It’s like they were made for you. Breaking shoes in can hurt, blister your feet, and cause aches while walking. Becoming who you are, feels so much like that. The parts of you that rub up against the hard parts of life can blister. The journey can be painful and then suddenly you’re there - perfectly fitted to yourself. Just have faith that the journey will also have surprises, joy, and so much self-love. Get to know yourself. It’s a difficult start but so worth it. We need to remember that it often sounds easier than it is. Maybe for some, it’s easy and makes sense and they reap the rewards. But for some of us, we are hyper-aware of the risks of being authentic more than the rewards, and it takes us time to get there. Much love my friend, David P.S. Don’t forget to use the code PRIDE22 to get 3 for the price of 2 on all my prints. |
