I hadn’t talked to Mark since our last “date.” Not sure what is going on but did send him a message after the date thanking him, so the ball is in his court. He could be sitting on the text, wondering if it’s worth it. He could be bogged down with work but it’s Sunday. Maybe Nicola and him are trying to come up with a verdict about me. Who knows, but whatever the outcome is, I know we are on different levels. I’m not self-sabotaging something or trying to deflect away from a situation but just what I am feeling.

How To Be An Ally. Top Story - May 2022.
Every year, LGBTQIA+ events are held in June in honour of Stonewall. As we approach June, it's important to learn how to be inclusive and welcoming during pride month - the one month of the year where the LGBTQIA+ community can be open and celebrated. Or, that's the way it's supposed to be, anyway. Even during pride, a lot of queer youth and adults feel excluded and afraid, especially living in specific communities. As a queer ally, it's important to stand up for your loved ones, and to stand up to those who make us feel threatened or scared.

I haven't had a proper date in years, even Matt couldn't take me on a date. He said it was too hard, pretty much. I even offered to pay for myself. Nope, always had excuses.

XX
Growing up, I referred to myself as a tomboy: the thought of putting makeup on my face made my skin itch and crawl, the concept of wearing a skirt or a girly shirt made it feel like I was looking at a stranger in the mirror. But still, I thought, I'm a girl. There's no "right" way to be a girl. I can wear baggy clothes and high tops, save my dresses for special occasions, grow up to be a woman. When I was a teenager, I felt trapped, confused, wondering why being a girl was so strange and unenjoyable. I just wasn't very good at it, but like I said, there's no "right way" to be a girl.
