RaeAnna + A Nerdy Lifestyle
These are the things that don’t fit into the other categories. There’s probably a pretty strong feminist agenda in here. I’m just living my life!
Music is a huge part of my life. So, this year, I made a playlist to keep me in check and also remind me it’s okay to be the bummer that I authentically am. Because I truly would not have a career or passion or drive without the depression, anxiety, abuse, and neurodivergence that make up the trauma responses I call my personality.
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.
Writing has always been the easiest way for me to explain all the feelings I find so difficult. I trend toward verbosity, but more often than not, I say nothing at all.
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.
