another year or around the sun.
the past 4 years of my life— i have drastically grown, now identifying as someone of a trans femme nonbinary experience. i have a deeper understanding of myself and humanity.
i’ve always wished for happiness on my birthdays and always felt close— happiness isn’t a fixed emotion, but one that requires constant work; being in tune with one’s self, listening to the mind and body and obeying it.
the progress and change we crave, across all aspects of life, doesn’t come from toxic positivity, manifestation and self love alone— radical action which follows is the only way to liberate yourself from the systems which hold you back.
this year, my birthday wish is for true liberation. liberation from gender, beauty standards, sexuality, sex, capitalism, systemic oppression, racism, etc — and of course a free P@£€$T!N€, sudan, congo, cuba, haiti, puerto rico, hawaii, etc. my heart has broken a thousand times over, as this last year has taught me the systems i have been participating in has led to the systematic oppression of the global south at the hands of western nations such as my own.
i don’t have all the answers, but im liberating myself of pressures to do, say, act in ways i felt i had to previously perform under. true happiness, progress, change and freedom can be achieved, if not for others, for myself, my consciousness and humanity.
for all those wishing to gift/provide presents — i humbly ask you donate to P@£€$T!N!
