Happy Pride Month!

I don’t know if anyone reads my post (again),but I can’t help.

I know a lot going on all over the world, especially US, I deeply afraid everyone’s mental health.

I saw “DONT USE THAT TAG ON THE PICTURE ITS USELESS” or “NOW ALL FOCUS ON BLM ITS NOT TIME FOR YOUR BUISINESS” kind of things in social media. and those actions and movements....it’s a lot.

I understand it is too important. I know that. Black lives matter.

but tbh.... people assaulting others just posting ordinaly things in SNS? or claiming it’s not the time for all LGBTQ+ but black LGBTQ+?

I rememberd feelings when we cant post ordinary things on SNS after huge earthquake hits. It was different kind of situetion I know but at that time, we couldn’t use SNS for just a little things-it was really depressing. Then someone made an account “for just ordinary posts” and I posted for them ordinary, unneccesary things, to lighten my mood. It really helped. I guess many found a peace in it.

I know BLM actions are important. I try to understand what’s going on and what I can do. I want to tell you if you are depressed,or overwhelmed, It’s okay to have a moment for yourself- do something unnecessary, ordinary things. Do it, to keep your mind well. If you can’t stand those images or tragic reports, It’s okay to avoid seeing it for moment. If you want to celebrate pride month, it’s okay to celebrate just a bit. Do not bring yourself at bay, just take your time, take a break. Read books, watch movies and shows,eat your favorites. Don’t drunk. Don’t drug. your health is important. and then rejoin the actions of BLM with healty body and mind- dont keep yourself at bay. It’s okay to relax.

Talk ordinary things with your friends,family,partners if you can. If you can’t, I’m here! I may not understand every thing about you said- my English is damn. Just send a message! I will not judge you for doing not-BLM-thing. Everyone deserve to have a safe place. An escape. then let’s make world better with your healthy mind.

I am nonbinary- demiwoman, Aromantic, 33, living in Osaka,Japan, barista, have a histry of withdrawal, not good at socialize in person so I value one-time interaction and on SNS friendsip. Just return from recess and feel weird a bit. Our olive tree bears flower this year! Not in my best but good mood considering everything. How are you?

Hope everyone stay safe and fine. Again,happy pride month for everyone!!
