March 31 (Today) is International Transgender Day of Visibility. It's important now more than ever that transgender people have allies they can rely on, especially with all the Anti-Trans legislation coming out.

Did you know that Transgender people are a critical portion of the LGBTQ spectrum? Trans women, including Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots, which is credited as being the inspiration for pride parades today, and the reason why we celebrate LGBTQ pride in June.

Johnson and Rivera also co-founded Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR House), one of the first shelters and organizations for homeless gay and trans youths.

There’s a strange thing about memories—sometimes, they feel like the only thing we have left. I close my eyes, and I can still see my family sitting around the dinner table, laughing at a joke my uncle made. I can still hear my mother calling me to come inside before it gets too late. I can still feel the warm sun on my face as I walked home from school, thinking about my next big dream.

Now, those moments feel like they belong to another life. The streets aren’t the same. The people aren’t the same. And I—I don’t know if I’m the same either. But I hold onto those memories so tightly because they remind me of who I am, of the love I’ve known, of the warmth that still exists somewhere in this world.

If you’re reading this, take a moment to appreciate the little things. Hug your family. Send a message to an old friend. Step outside and take a deep breath of fresh air. 🌿 These are the moments that matter. These are the things that make life beautiful.

No matter where life takes me, I’ll never stop cherishing the love that shaped me. And I hope, wherever you are, you never stop appreciating the love around you too. 💙
