This is my 4th
year sweating
I’m sweating for life-changing Rainbow support services
I raised $5,132
last year
Why I’m Sweating with Pride
I try not to think about it too much because there’s nothing you can do to change the past
But I can’t help but wonder what life would have been like if I could have been myself from a younger age
And there is an element of grief for all the things I missed out on, like first love as a teenager or, idk, going to a school formal with someone I loved
Instead I had boyfriends who made me feel physically sick and I spent years thinking something was wrong with me
So I’m doing sweat with pride in the hopes that at least one more person will get to have what I didn’t have
Whoever you are… you’re welcome, ya little dyke x
