Queer people exist. Choosing not to accept them is not an option. - Daniel Howell

I’m here, I’m queer, and don’t worry, I’m still full of existential fear.

This experience coming from a childhood hearing the word gay meaninglessly thrown around as an insult at home and school, in music, on TV, to then realizing I am actually kinda gay, to then very specifically being attacked for it, was traumatic.

School friends don’t have to be people that you actually get on with, they’re just people that you bond with after sharing a traumatic situation for several years.
