Pursuing Personal Queer Excellence! Thrill of Victory? Agony of Defeat?
Intrinsic Queerness Saved Me and I Didn’t Even Know It
Sorry, past me — I see your queer ass now
Everyone has their own journey and every queer person has an extra glittery rainbow journey to travel. I guess with two journeys (be they concurrent from start to end or otherwise) it’s no surprise those in the queer community are resilient. Turns out, I am.
When I look back now with language, knowledge, and permission, I think my queerness was always there and it gave me an internal fight.
From the prism rainbow to my pen
I love the Prism & Pen writing prompts, because they force me to think outside of the narrow prison of beliefs and assumptions that I often forget I’m human enough to still have! This one was no exception:
We’re looking for stories about how YOUR queerness inspired/inhibited you from achieving excellence in any endeavor… Do you feel that being queer helped you or hindered you? Pushed you or pulled you?
