What you are comes to you. Be true to your work, your word, and your friend. Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.
“She said to the women, Leave your pain here and go out and do your magnificent things. I didn’t know instructions like this were possible.”

“I was not and had never been a part of a queer community, how to access such a thing was not just a mystery but an impossibility. The loss of which was sizable. Agony in isolation, the shame and pain that I thought was mine alone. My heart aches for my younger self. A tiny bug running to the rim of an upside-down juice glass. What a difference it would have been to sit with queer and trans pals and have them say "I feel that way, too. I felt that way, too. We don't have to feel that way. You don't have to feel that way.". Not a magic eraser of shame, but it would have undoubtedly quickened things up.”
