where do i belong
For the past few months, I have had many experiences along my journey of self-discovery and queer identity. I've felt like I don't quite belong where I am, like I'm out of place in both spaces I felt most welcome. Between the streets of Capitol Hill and the halls of various conventions, I have felt a little lost. I want to be openly queer and be a part of the local community of Cal Anderson Park. I want to continue to cosplay as Scout and bring people together as a fandom at conventions. But I felt as if I don't fit into either group. Many times I've looked at what I have and feel that I don't deserve this life. That I don't belong here..
But with the help of my loving boyfriend and my community, I've come to realize..
I belong here.
Both of these communities are what I call home, and both of these communities welcome me back whenever I return. Thank you for helping me find my place in the world.
Even if I was only temporary.
