i month you :)

happy birthday to dan howell, who makes me feel appreciated and safe to express my queerness when i can’t afford to in real life, who reminds me time will pass and so will the hardships if i keep trying to overcome them, who created an entire space and community to be what he needed when he was a closeted baby gay that could only see pride as something terrifying, who had the bravery of putting out his rawest most darkest thoughts and fears in the world in the hopes of helping those going through the same, who kept being kind and loving even after going through so much hatred and fear, who had the courage to keep existing, who’s here and queer albeit the existential fear, who shows me life can become beautiful and colorful and worth living even if it takes time and even if i think this time will never come, who is now able to fully entirely live authentically with his best friend and partner for life.

dan’s first post hard launch birthday tomorrow

remember:
