Random thoughts... survivors the world had prepared you unknowingly for battle. You know about fists and harm from those that were supposed to love you. Sometimes we fight ourselves instead of the system that created violence. Designed it to function harm on bodies. We have turned on each other. Lets turn outwards and stop beating our souls and beat a system that is broken. Loving self is a radical act for women, queer, and trans folks of color survivors. We have taught ourselves, taught each other and can model what a warrior looks like in the belly of the beast. Breathe fire in your belly and blow this system down. You have already been trained to defend and fight from a young age. It wasnt fair. You deserved more. And still you loved. You loved me. I know this. I feel you community. You are gentle and strong and protective. I want you to love yourself as much as I love each beautiful unicorn. Each tragic story. Each Trauma That Still Runs IN our heads with each hug, each smile. The joy is as painful as the sorrow. The hope so anguish filled like the hope of escaping a burning house but your skin is still on fire. So complex to hold in one body, bitterness and hope. Yet we strive forward. We are still alive. And yes, and the history, herstory, queerstory, OURstory states.. we are the ones we have been waiting for. We are warriors, trained in the fire of our homes. We can reach for more, only destination is up from such fd up s#$ t. Survivors we are the Warriors we have been waiting for. Lets build our world and put our stories as building blocks. I am going to stop running from myself and face myself, like a warrior should. Ancestors holler, where you at, because I am strong, but scared of the journey ahead.. I am human. I finally believe that, step one. I am here.
