I've chosen a harder path and I wouldn't want it the easy way. I endured the whips of bullying & the masquerade of earning respect by being an acolyte ( sakristan). I went through the harshest truth when my greatest love said to me frankly, " ๐™„๐™› ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช'๐™ง๐™š ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ก๐™ฎ ๐™– ๐™ฌ๐™ค๐™ข๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™€๐™ช๐™œ." I cannot be nonchalant ( walay pakialam) how it deprecates my accomplishments every time I see a pregnant woman. HOW I IMPLORE OR BEG TO BE A MOTHER :( There were a couple of things about life & the world itself that could wane my spirit including those who magnify the word of their faith...yet through them, the worst cases of judgments & discrimination simply made living a hellish plight. I rose to the skies & flopped many times; however, giving up has never ever crossed my mind because more & more people have shown love & compassion, respect & spiritual fortitude. We, gays, remain as humans & understanding is all it takes to live in peace & harmony. We don't exist to STAND OUT; we're here to STAND UP about what we believe in & how we keep each other safe, sound & empowered. No label or gender can label happiness. No darkness can outshine the rainbow. Together, all of us together, can brighten the universe without breaking our hearts & souls, dreams & destinations.
And I thank you.
