Im not ok. I’ve been crying in front of the mirror for the last hour.

What am I doing? I’m an adult, why am I still hiding?

My dad told me I need to stop “for now” after he noticed I had makeup on. I didn’t stop I just got better at hiding it.

The others in church continue to throw transphobia around like it’s tennis, not understanding that I’m in the stands.

Im NOT a creep, im NOT a pervert, im NOT a faker. I just want BREATH for the first time in my life.

College can’t come soon enough. I can’t stay here, I’m not safe, I’m not healthy.

Tumblr is my void that I shout at, cry tears into, and hug out of desperation. Every once in a while, it hugs back; I know I’m not alone.

Goddess Hel, divine hostess whose arms lovingly embrace all guests, Watch over those who have crossed your gates against their will. Care for those taken from us and bless them with tranquil rest.

Godx Loki, story-teller and guardian of outcasts, Give words to our sorrow so that we may honor their memories. Breathe air into our lungs so we may bellow our love over hatred.

Goddess Hel, cherisher of life and daughter of metamorphosis, Bestow in their loved ones moments of laughter, healing, and peace. May their names echo not just in sorrow but in smiling remembrance.

Godx Loki, change-bringer and waker of revolution, Spark the flames of unrelenting authenticity within us. Stoke the ember of truth until the hateful are blinded by its light.

Under the cut are the siblings, youth, and elders whose lives were taken due to hatred, bigotry, and fear. I understand it is incredibly triggering, but I believe we owe it to them to read their names.

We love you. We are unendingly sorry and we will never stop fighting until the hatred that stole you from this life has been extinguished. We love you so much.
