my mom’s work held a seminar about lgbt issues and there was a part where they talked about the high rates of suicide, drug use, and abuse that bi people face and my mom told me that everyone there was so shocked that the rates were higher than gay men and lesbians. including the gay man who was sitting next to my mom who said he had no idea and now he felt guilty for how he talked to and thought about bi people in the past. everyone there (including my mother, by her own admission) thought that things would be easier for bisexuals because we can “fit in with either group.” that really shows you how much people ignore the specific issues that bisexuals have to go through and how the fact that people think we have “straight-passing privilege” just makes people turn their backs on us.

When I'm.uncomfortable or I feel like my life is going to take a turn I start hiding food weather its hidding non perishables or its hiding the food that I have eaten already. This has been a coping skill of mine since I was a little kid. People will say that "everyone's parents are divorced so.its not a big deal." Or things along those lines and it sucks. Like so so so much because its so invalidating. Yes alot of people have divorced parents but that does not change the fact that for a kid a teenager or hell even an adult parents getting divorces sucks. And can be a source of trauma so please try not to invalidate your friends or peers struggles. Try to understand because at 21 this is the first time ive ever said anything about it.

Sometimes you need to remind yourself that you were the one who carried you through the heartache. You are the one who sits with the cold body on the shower floor, and picks it up. You are the one who feeds it, who clothes it, who tucks it into bed, and you should be proud of that. Having the strength to take care of yourself when the world is trying to bleed you dry, that is the strongest thing in the universe.
