"Itās been hard distinguishing the usefulness of my āgutā when itās been informed by trauma." This!!
Thank you for such a transparent essay. As a 40 year old queer femme, I connected with so much of what you wrote and I appreciate your vulnerability. So many of us hold our stories and our ruminating inside, feeling less than, unseen, and unworthy...thinking no one else shares similar experiences. Thank you for making the world a little less lonely for queer folk through this beautiful essay.
Iām so happy that this essay found itās way to you on Love day. Thereās so much left unspoken amongst our ranks in queer community, especially as Black femmes. Thank you for reading. ššš
Thank you for baring your heart to us (too). The part about trusting your āgut when itās been informed by traumaā really resonated. I also find distinguishing my intuition from my trauma responses to be challenging. My go-to is to ask myself how Iām breathing. If my body feels normal but something still feels off, itās the situation. If my body & breathing are tight, itās usually my past. Usually, lol. Sending love ššš
āItās crazy to believe that all the evidence of the security my partnership has offered can leave me suspicious as opposed to comforted.ā This hit home. Thanks for writing and sharing - your words have power š
The depths and layers of your essays always bring me to a space of self-reflection and unearthing that which I shall no longer carry in my own life. Thank you.
ššš Happy Valentineās Day and I loved this article. There is so much to say, but just know that your honesty and transparency is always appreciated and makes so many people feel seen and heard š
"Queer Black Love is futurity" I love this. I also really appreciate the vulnerability of this article. It is hard sometimes to understand how someone could love us so. It almost seems like a trick. But OH How wondrous it is to be washed in love. Hope you both are feeling deeply and joyfully today and always.
šššš Iām feeling and thinking a great deal. Truly Grateful!

Beautifully written.
