hey guys
I thought I might talk about my spring break in this post but I decide to fit
in bits and pieces of my break into what I really want to talk about. I was on
a picnic with my theater friends on the day before Easter. So you know a bunch
of queer kids in the forest preserve. After some eating, some dancing, and
trying to play frisbee, we decide to climb some trees. And it hit me as we sat
comfortably/ clung for dear life in or to the tree queer kids are some strange
folks. I mean we tend to be more accepting, more adventurous, and more
open-minded you know willing to try new things. I so we are city kids we don't
climb trees some of them had never climbed a tree in their life but we sat calm
and comfortable like we were in our natural element (Tarzan in this beatch) it
is almost like we were in our comfort zone. Is this just our open mindedness or
our ability to adapt and conform? The more I though about it the
more it seemed to me like to be this openness and easily adaptability it seems
to be very prominent in our queer community. However, it only seems to show
when we are together in a group. like all it take is 3 of us and one person out
of three has to be outgoing and bam you have like a mini pride party. is it the
fact that what makes up the comfort zone is the group and not an exact
place. It just seems like where ever we go ( cuz boy do we get around we
terrorize the city) no matter what’s going on around us as long as we are
together it seems like we are okay. You would not know this but in person I am
actually somewhat shy. Like if I don’t know anybody I am not the one to go out
and talk to somebody (unless they are super cute like “eh shawty what’s your
name” trey songz) or
do something crazy. But when I know somebody, it makes it easier to approach
the people (like when your friend is with friends you don’t know). So from my
experience it just seems like a few things are true about us queers: 1 we can
party! 2 we can get kinda cray cray 3 we are willing to try new things. And 4
we tend to be open minded. What do yall think? Hit me up if you agree
disagree only think one of them are true is sitting on the fence. I want
to know what you think
This is an unedited blog about my thoughts, my life, and my experiences living it. I leave it unedited so I can actually watch myself grow. It forces me to acknowledge my mistakes and learn from them. Feel free to leave comments
