2026
I am as much a human being as the next person. My feelings are valid. I am not inherently bad. I deserved to be interacted with in good faith.
It is okay for me to be confident. I am likeable. Lovable even. It is okay for me to be here.
I can say no and still be worthy of love.
The best thing I did this year was record a podcast I won’t ever publish. Four of my friends spoke to me and in their words I found permission to be myself.
I go into the new year with the ease and audacity of an exceptional white man.
Merry Christmas
