RaeAnna + A Nerdy Lifestyle
These are all my thoughts, opinions, and other things.
George Peabody Library has been the last thing to cross off my bucket list for several years. I finally did in October, and I was overwhelmed. Stendhals Syndrome played a role, but I finally realized the immensity of what I've done. How hard I fought to have an education. As a woman, a gay woman, this library was never meant for me, but I got to stand there as I am, knowing everything I have overcome to be this person and have all the knowledge I do.
Life has been a traumatic, but I've put a lot of work into healing so I can be good to myself so I can be a good human to everyone. Even in the worst times when I had no control over my life, I had control over my body... I'd been restricted before with everything from a torn ACL to sprained feet; as a dancer, injuries happened. This. A broken dominant hand as a writer is very different. I felt like I was slowly dying.
For my 31st birthday, I got tattooed with one of my favorite people. These three tattoos mean so very much. In the process, I started slowly giving my body back to myself.
Gay is a synonym for happy, so here’s to a Gay Fucking Pride and celebrating exactly who we are because we are exceptional.
Love cannot conquer all, but our love has conquered so very much.
I've been wanting to get a tattoo embodying my queer identity for several years now. When I went to visit my best friend in Denver a few weeks ago, I finally did. I absolutely love them.
