Validation Is Not An Outside Thing. Top Story - June 2024.
Hey Baby, Can we start by taking a second to celebrate the fact that you are here today? Yes! For some of us, it’s a small victory on life that we get to claim every time we wake up. You and I both know we haven’t always wanted to be here. Choosing to stay is a victory. So, congratulations but also thank you! If you are anything like me at your age, I know you are rolling your eyes, right now. But give me a second. It’s a little sappy—I’m aware—but I believe that at every point in life, we all have something to contribute. It doesn’t have to be huge. It can be a simple word to a person who needs to hear it at that very moment. So there you go.

Dear Younger Me's
Dear Younger Me's, This is a letter to all the younger me’s in this world right now. The Queer youth that has for whatever reason hidden themselves away. Hidden their true, beautiful light inside for any number of reasons. Whether you are hiding who you love, who you really are, or any other aspect of yourself that for now you fear others knowing, this letter is for you … and for the younger me that never had this letter.
