Seven Tenets of Resistance

What does it mean to love yourself? What is self? Who is self? What does it mean to make space for yourself in places others choose to keep you out?
What does it mean to feel different than you are read? To try to be read the same, to assimilate and still fail…

What does it mean to give all of yourself to be a part of something you thought you loved, and yet, still be on the outside looking in? Hypervigilant collector of behavioral patterns… Calls refused to be taken… responses that vary when the trigger was the same! How does that define self?

What does it mean to be forever ruminating over identity and self? Over gender & expression & experience…

This is love. This is self love. To be in constant pursuit of the answers. To know. To accept. To claim space where none was given.

To resist against your required assimilation.
This is what it is to self love.

To seek the knowing.
To know, to understand.
To be audacious in that knowing.
