Vulnerable post. Sometimes I feel like I don’t really belong anywhere. Just me, or do you ever experience that? I mean, I’m very grateful for the friends and communities I have but sometimes I get too in my head. Culturally for example, sometimes I’m made to feel like I’m not Indian enough. On the other hand, so many times in my life, I’ve felt like I don’t fit in because I’m not American enough. Because I discovered my truth later in life, sometimes I’m made to feel like I’m not queer enough. Other times, it seems people have a problem with how queer I am. Sometimes people tell me they don’t know how to approach me because they think “I’m too big for them now”. But then I enter a room filled with people who were raised to believe true success equates to marriage and children and I feel like a failure. I feel like I’m constantly on a balance beam that lives in my mind, trying to figure it all out. Like it’s the scene from Mean Girls and I’m trying to determine where I’m allowed to sit. All this to say that sometimes I feel out of place and maybe you do too. I can’t control the world and god knows I can’t change people’s minds but I can control what I do and the energy I choose to spread. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that I’m dedicated to creating a community here where everyone feels welcome. That’s important to me. Tell me your experience in the comments and I’ll try to respond to as many as I can. You are welcome here as you are... ❤️ #YouCanSitWithUs.
