Breathe. Release. Surrender.

This past week I have experienced some tremendous growth and I am going to shout out the earth for that one.

I truly have been able to experience all my emotions this week, not letting them control me and not really having OCD symptoms. Overall it has been a really great growth month.

I finished up my OCD training and I am not quite sure if it helped or not but at the end of the day I noticed a lot of growth and I am going to take that as a win.

I went to see RuPaul DJ at the Rave this past weekend. Not only did he (not in drag) talk about love, joy and knowing and loving yourself.

Ru had some fun visuals that continued to remind me to breathe, release and surrender to the moment.

It was so helpful to have those reminders when you are at an event like that. There are so many people there and having a visual reminder is such a great affirmation.

RuPaul has really taught me a lot about how important it is to love yourself, and to love others around you, appreciate what they bring to the table and to find joy in the things that bring you joy.

I have found so much love, acceptance and family within the LGBTQIA community. I am not quite sure if I fall within it; however, as an ally I will forever be advocating and speaking out to ensure that everyone in that community is safe and seen.

I was harassed by a man on Saturday morning outside the public market. He brought a group of children under 18 to protest women's health rights. I told them "You do not have a uterus, you do not get to make a choice. Her body her choice"

This man proceeded to film me while asking me if I am happy my dog did not get aborted. I asked him to please stop talking to me. I said no thank you. and even physically put up my hand and turned away and said please stop talking to me.

He did not stop, he kept talking to me, asking me if I was happy I wasn't aborted, gave me a statistic about how many babies are aborted around the world during a time frame (I didn't listen).

This truly tells you something about the sides that people are on. I cried on my walk home because one man wouldn't leave me alone, made me feel unsafe and so invalid as a human being. Disgusting.

One man continuously reminded me that I am enough, I am love, I can breathe, release and surrender. I should not take too seriously (yes that is all that it said). I need to know myself.

RuPaul- thank you for all that you have done for the world. For your love that you continue to spread every day, the platform that you give Drag Queens, Trans Women and everyone in the LGBTQIA community.

To those people out there who act like they care about everyone but truly act maliciously and cause other people to feel unsafe. Open your mind to what you are doing to this world. You are the change that needs to happen.
