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.

My head lately

#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 💝

If you’re questioning Pride,
ask yourself:

When did it start feeling like too much?
What made you pull back?
And is that discomfort actually yours?

“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

This candy was first sold in the 1940s as a weight-loss aid - later renamed Ayds

Formulas were pulled from the market after being linked to heart problems & death.

The name eventually became a PR nightmare during the AIDS crisis.

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.

Performance can become your personality.

In an effort to be liked you risk becoming invisible and a stranger to yourself.

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

“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”
— George Orwell

Judgment, not as critical thought, but as a reflex, often rooted in fear or ignorance.

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.
