Have you ever felt invisible in a queer space?

Perhaps my friendliness as an outsider was read as intrusion.
Maybe they are not even consciously aware of closing ranks, or that it could be a defence mechanism to protect a fragile sense of belonging.

#queerhealing #gaymemes

I love seeing this. As someone who’s been trying to overcome body dysmorphia throughout the years, I have to remember that my body works hard for me. My body loves me.

Your body works hard for you.
Your body loves you.
What a gift 💝

“Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It’s a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being noting.” Denis Waitley #thoughtoftheday

I know, because l've done it. I was whoever you needed me to be, charming, impressive, in control, being liked felt safer than the real me.

If I had a drink for every time someone asked why I'm not drinking.
Yes, I'm still having fun.
I don't care how much you drink around me, it doesn't trigger me.
I'll tell you if I'm going to drink again.
I'm not missing out
I'm not boring
Yes, I used to love it but I don't miss it

Hey queer blue skyers. Can you help me get started with this app? I’m a gay author, I speak about healing, psychedelics and body dysmorphia. Can you help me suggest who to follow? #gay #psychedelics

Hi, I'm Daniel.

I'm a nutritionist and writer. I write books for the LGBTQ+ community & a regular substack.

I have a big interest in healing from trauma & letting go of the perfection label. My interests also include psychedelics and breathwork.
