Happy unbirthday (Alice in Wonderland style!!)

CosmicJoke, I'm so sorry for the pain you've been through.

I've experienced something similar, when I came out, some people walked away.

It hurt.

And I know your connection lasted over a decade, which makes the grief even heavier and more complex.

It's okay to mourn that kind of loss.

But I've also learned that their absence creates space for people who align with who we are.

What's helped me is stepping back from cisgender spaces and connections that can't, or won't, accept and understand me, and instead seeking out community and connection within the LGBTQ+ family.

I hope that helps, even just a little.

Happy Birthday MM! 🎂🎁

Quote from: Mandy Spencer on Yesterday at 02:04:48 PMThanks so much Lilis - yes, definitely a strength - and something that can't be repressed for too long, although I tried.

You're welcome, Mandy. 💕

Well, from the moment we're born, most of us are told, directly or indirectly, that we have to be one thing, either straight or gay, either a man or a woman.

One gender. One orientation no in between.

And if we don't fit neatly into those boxes, we're labeled as confused, or at least, I was. 

But the truth is, that kind of rigid, binary thinking leaves no room for bisexuality which, by nature, lives in the fluid space between and beyond the binaries.

It isn't confusion, it's complexity, depth, and honesty.

IMO

Thank you, Danielle. I'll definitely let you all know how it goes.

  - - - - - - - - -  -I had my birthday recently.  I celebrated it with two meals at the Blue Lobster.  They offer free food coupons on certain days.  One was a hot lobster roll with clam chowder.  The other was a crab cake with fried scallops. Better two meals than one!  I tipped generously.  24% and 27% for a sit down lunch when they weren't busy.
