Status Updates From Who We Are

This was going so well. Why did the author need to include this joke? It’s gross and unnecessary.

“Guess I just like the feeling of taking a man who’s bigger than me and doing whatever I want with him.” “Pretty sure you just described rape.”

“I love you too. But you don’t need to remember because I’m always going to be here to remind you.”

“It feels worse somehow,” I started to explain. “But when it comes from a space we’re supposed to belong in, it feels like being ignored by someone you know. Like being pushed aside by family, almost.”

“I get it. I don’t always feel like I fit in either. We are who we are, Seb, and even at thirty years old I still have to remind myself sometimes that that’s okay.”

“Just ‘cause you’re a bender doesn’t mean I am
too!”

“Don’t call me that. Please, don’t ever call me that.” It wasn’t so much
the word, more the way he said it that offended me.

In the Urdu language, we have certain words that are just as offensive - just as derogatory, and it makes me cringe, makes me sick when people use it in a jocular fashion or not - it's just wrong. 😢

Be who you are. Be weird, be boring. Be loud, be quiet. Be adventurous, be tame.
Be you.
For there is only one of you, and you are beautiful.
Be proud of your differences. They’re what make us unique."

Words to live by. 👋🏻👋🏻
