Or to be oh so thankful and obsequious to certain people because I am "allowed" to be in the place I am
It's fucking exhausting
And that's just me
I am who I am
Who I was born to be
And that isn't coloring outside the lines much
I am a minority
In a white majority place
I am what some say a liberal
In a conservative land
But I look fairly average
And act within the confines of what is societally "permitted"
As a privilege and a right
And yet I am grateful
That I do have these rights
Even if some seek to disallow the privilege
Because there are those that do not even have the right to be who they are
When is society going to learn
That society is an oasis
But this oasis has a cesspool
And the more we can shine a light on that
And accept it
for what it is
The sooner we can get to a place where we truly function
Where life is truly happy
For everyone
I suppose that must first start with one truly accepting oneself
And not apologizing for who one is
But embracing that person
Loving that person
Having deep compassion for that person
And then shining that light on everything else in life
And not needing to do anything beyond that

Love leads you stupefyingly along
It just has a way of overtaking you
In the absolute most delightful way possible
And letting it is..... simply put; the most marvelous feeling in the world
It's hard to maintain that though
Life isn't construed in our favor for it to come more naturally
It takes an effortless effort that is truly immeasurable
There's a lot of ways to it though; meditation, pot, sex, being in love, endorphins, God, on and on. Find a healthy one for you and off you go.
