  • It’s okay.

    Really messed me up, tbh. Told that my purpose as a woman was to get married and “please my husband”, no matter what.

    As a teen, my desire to like boys never manifested. My youth pastor would preach about how women were princesses whose desire was to be saved by a knight, and men were knights seeking adventure. I always wanted the adventure, and I was completely ostracized for it.

    Imagine being told that your purpose is to be loved, then realizing that your true self is something nobody will ever love.

    It’s disturbing, and I was severely depressed throughout my entire young & teenage years.

    (it got much worse, but I don’t want to go over that. Just know that I escaped that shit eventually.)

    🎶 Hey little fella, I know just what you’re thinkin’!

    Nobody gets you or sees what you could be!

    But pluck up your courage and turn that frown up

    Soon we will eat this entire town up

    Then they’ll believe in my dragon pal and me! 🎶

    (Fun fact: Tad Cooper is actually a bearded dragon!)
