adventures in rainbows

This is the story of my journey in discovering my sexuality. Stories of persecution and bullying, and heartbreak, but also growth and learning more and more about myself every day. Previous title: "LGBTQ+ Issues. Fun." I felt the name gave off a really negative vibe, and at the time of its creation, I was going through a hard time, and the title reflected it. Disclaimer: the original chapters from 2018 are very far behind me, and all I'll say is that I've learned a lot about myself since posting them.

Here is my return to self-expression, an action I began as a child full of wonder and adventure.But life has taken me down some difficult paths. Diagnosed with major depression and psychosis, most of the time I felt completely detached from my old self. Recently, reading over some of the things I wrote as a child, I felt again a flicker of the person I had been-a girl whose world was open to her eyes and heart, ready to be rediscovered. This book, in so many ways, is a reflection of that lost girl and a testament to my journey of self-recovery and healing continued to this day.Through these poems, I want to reach out to her-to whoever else may feel lost-to tell her that we are still here, waiting to be found.
