I’m jealous of those who can function like a normal human being. They don’t have anxiety holding them back from everything, they don’t struggle to get out of bed or have to put on an act that everything is fine when its not. They don’t struggle to hold friendships and relationships… they don’t feel sad for no fucking reason everyday. Those that can hold jobs and work towards their dreams, the ones who have self esteem and see the beauty in themselves. Those that know what its like to feel safe and secure, not insecure and fearful of it all.
I just shared another video from this creator about the discourse on Harry within the queer community, but this one covers such an interesting perspective.
This is a trans creator who was raised in a cult, yet he was allowed to listen to One Direction and participate in fandom because of their “clean” image. And because of that, because of what he refers to as “quiet representation”, and because Harry showed his queerness but wasn’t able to/hasn’t labeled himself publicly, he’s impacted so many people who would otherwise have been kept from knowing him and seeing themselves represented.
It was just a perspective I’d never considered. I thought I’d share.
i'm black. i'm trans. i'm poor. i don't have a job. none of the places hiring have given me so much as a second glance. i can't access my bank account. i can't open a new bank account. and i'm running out of money trying to eat and not get kicked out of my landlord's basement
i know times are tough for most of us but if (and only if) you have the means to help me stay afloat until i can get back on my feet it would mean the world to me
