I know what it is to be wanted
wanted I am
wanted to be this
wanted to be that
But I don't know if I've ever been chosen
Chosen to be me
For me and only me
I don't know if I know what it feels like
to be chosen unequivocally
irrevocably
Unconditionally
Over and Over
Time and Time again
I can't say I've chosen anyone either lately
Actually no
That's not entirely true
I've chosen me
I choose me
And I'm somebody
It's been nothing short of roller-coasteral
I know that's not a word but it felt right
I'm also learning to love the parts of me that don't make sense
Making peace with the fact that they don't have to
There's beauty in it
Truly
I don't have to be more than what I am
I could be
But I don't have to be
I exist all the same
I don't have a name.

Angst? Just an esoteric soul wrapped up in 21st-century BS hoping one day it'll make sense where I fit into all of it; one day I'll see the light at the end of the tunnel. For now... I write because if I spoke, the words might be lost
Writing About Writing: The Rainbow Trap
The good thing about living in modern times is that LGBTQ representation in media is increasing. Not just in niche and Independant media, either, but also in mainstream media. Books, movies, TV shows, comics... they're finally catching on that LGBTQ+ people form a significant part of their audience, and deserve to see themselves on screen and in fiction, not just as victims in documentaries and true crime shows.

I’ve Started 23 Writing Projects. I’ve Finished 2. Here’s Why.
I have a folder on my computer called "Writing Projects." It contains 23 documents. Each one is a project I started with full conviction that this was the one. There is a book that would I would call my masterpiece. And the series that would take off. Most are ideas that were too good not to pursue.
