Gymnopédie No. 1

This song is the ultimate sad song. I feel like so many people have listened to it after their heart was broken and they just needed to cry. I listened to it once when I was having a hard conversation with someone and it didn't end well for either party. So now whenever I hear it, I go back to that place of sadness. I wish that I didn't like the song, but I love it. I consider it to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music in the world.

Less Than On The Inside

I recently saw a lot of people hating on bisexuality on Tumblr. Not only did I see straight people saying the classic things such as "Bisexuality doesn't exist!" But I also saw members of the LGBT+ community saying the same sort of things. One of the most upsetting things I saw was a gay person who was saying that bi people who were in a heterosexual relationship are not members of the queer community and shouldn't be allowed in gay bars. It was not only offensive to me as a person who identifies as bisexual, but it was also giving a bad name to the LGBT+ community. Queer people have been struggling for a long time for acceptance and general understanding in the wider population, so to see people from inside the community basically saying the same things that straight people have said about LGBT+ people, genuinely hurts me. 

One of the things I love most about being bisexual is being a part of this wonderful, accepting, and all around beautiful community, but this is the sort of thing that makes me want to curl up and cry in the closet. I don't want to be seen as less than in the LGBT+ community when I am already seen as less than for being a part of it. I don't want people who aren't queer to see anyone saying hateful things about a sexuality that a lot of people don't understand. It gives off the impression that it's okay and it most certainly is not. 

Here We Go....

When I started this blog a few years ago, I wanted to become this big beauty blogger who got incredible famous because of it. I really thought this would happen even though I don't wear makeup or go shopping every day or basically anything that beauty bloggers do to make their blogs succeed. Needless to say I just gave up. Now I have more realistic views on life and what I can do on social media. I want this to be a space where I can share my opinions on things in life. I don't have any idea if anyone will actually want to read these opinions, but to me that doesn't really matter right now. I just want to write and develop a style of writing that I feel really truly represents me. 

So there it is. That is what this is going to be. Hopefully I stick with it longer than last time.
