Pride Month Post 3: Celebrities That Came Out In 2019

When I did my research, some information was not super clear, and I don’t want to write fake or misleading news. I know how hard it is to come out because it took me 13 years to do it myself and when you do it. It changes your life forever. All I’m asking from you is to respect people who come out on social media because homophobia is a killer and it hurts to see and read so much hate.

Will It Ever Be Father And Son?

If you read my last post on the subject, you know that going to my childhood home isn’t the easiest to cope as I said in this post here. Months ago, my mum outed me to my dad, and I guess she was right that was the most straightforward way of doing things and for the truth to come out.

I didn’t know that my dad knew, and I was about to change my name and gender marker. I wanted my dad to know, so I went to my mum and told her that I was worried because I wanted to come out to dad, but I knew he won’t accept me as his son, and my mum said to me that he already knew and didn’t get it.

In the same day when I had my gender clinic appointment, my mum needed to go to Gozo (where my dad and my dogs live), so after the clinic, I went with mum. My dad and I had a head to head conversation, and my dad said some of the most hurtful words I was ever told. To the point where I couldn’t even open out about the week after in therapy.

Guess what the day I’m writing this I’m back in my parent’s home because my mum wanted to come, and I had no choice but to come with them soon my mum is the only one who takes care of me. My dad and I are on speaking terms, but he still views me and thinks of me as his daughter, and before you come for me, I know that these things take time.

I’m willing to wait for things to heal because the saying says time heals everything. However, I’m worried that once I start hormones, my dad will disown me and that will be the end of an already rocky relationship. My relationship with my dad has always been rocky. For me to become my true self, I’m risking losing a parent for my life.

Always on the fight to become more me,

A Dog’s Way Home (A Dog’s Way Home) by W. Bruce Cameron

A dog that was born in an abounded building was left alone with a pack of wild cats when a couple of men tried to kill them before the building was demolished. Animal secure saved most of the cats, but when they found this ‘dog’, she went straight away to the only person that gave her food before. With a bit of persuasion, the guy could take the dog home. Later, Bella, her new name figured out that from now on she’ll be living with her ‘new human’ called Lucas and his mother, who’s a PTSD after coming back from war. Being that Bella was also very good at learning commands.

Like magic, Bella would comfort the mother whenever she was suffering from a PTSD attack. Being that Lucas works in a hospital, he started taking her to work with him, and she begins to help the people in there too. However, there was one problem in the apartment where they lived didn’t allow any dogs, causing her to end in the pound. Being that she was mistaken for a pit bull, she was given the three-state system which was a sure kill for her. Lucas stole her from the pound and gave her to his animal rescuer. As soon as Bella found a new home, she ran away to find her Lucas following the smell trail. Hoping that one day she’ll be back with her human friend Lucas.

Will Bella find her forever friend? You’ll have to read the book or watch the movie to get your answer!

Writing a poem with song lyrics

Chemicals inside my brain

Oh, my love, don’t stop burning gonna send them up in flames

The brightest colours fill my head

I give and you take

When the sharpest wanna cut me down

Time to stop taking this for granted

We’re barely a spark

I wish I could erase it

Every time we say goodbye baby, it hurts

Thoughts About Faithful Place (Dublin Murder Squad #3) by Tana French

Okay, that title might be a bit misleading, the only thing that I liked about this book was that the 60% I read went by fast. This book has a ton of characters, and I didn’t know who is, for example, kept mistaking the victim for the police in this, I wish that the squad team characters. I just want to know who is who the only few things I understood were that a suitcase show up and its owner is missing, and somehow a man is murdered form the same family of the same family as the missing person I guess the detective was somehow related to the family? I got so bored to the point that I didn’t finish which is a shame because I love murder/ mystery. If you read this book and can example it to me, please do in the comments below.
