I have been thinking a lot about shame. In the woods I am shameless. I am free.
I was raised to feel shame.
shame for the way my mind works - too creative to be consistent and too curious to be productive;
shame for my body - caught in an impossible paradigm of modesty and hypersexuality;
shame for my sexuality - too gay to be straight but not gay enough for the gays, and too curious to be monogamous;
shame for my gender identity - too femme-presenting to be a boy but too boy to be a girl;
shame for my feelings - too emotional to be rational but too rational to trust my feelings.
Shame is control. Shame is a trap.
Break free
Are you holding onto shame? Let’s release our shame together
Let this be your example of SHAMELESS non-binary, queer, polyamorous joy. Shame undermines joy and self-love. Live shamelessly. Be free
