Yo yo yo yo hope your summer is rockin and your Pride Month is as zesty as you are.
I was so nervous posting my first PRIDE. Edition playlist last year but now I'm like fuck it life's too short to worry!
Over the past few months I've really become a lot more comfortable in my own skin which is cool. Obviously I'm still learning about who I am, but I think even this time last year I wanted to put myself a box and say I'm 'X' or 'Y' etc, but now I'm a lot happier kinda seeing what life has in store ya know. Which I guess translates to if you have a KeepCup and care about the environment then I'll more than likely want to marry you hahahaha.
I could talk about so many different things in this blog post, and I guess I'm more confident to talk about stuff like this, but I guess the main message I hope you take away from this is that self-acceptance really is key to self-love and living the life you deserve.
When I knew that I like both men and women I kinda didn't think about it and pretended that there was nothing to think about. It actually took me a while to say it out loud to myself. The second I accepted myself was the second something clicked and things started to fall into place.
If you're not sure about who you are or questioning your sexuality etc, take time for yourself to think, reflect, and meditate. Honestly, be your own best friend and allow yourself to be open, vulnerable, and honest with yourself.
Don't rush anything.
Allow yourself to breathe.
And whatever you discover, acknowledge it and accept yourself for who you are.
I'm so thankful for my family and friends who've been so accepting and lovely. I understand it's not easy for everyone so my advice is to take things at your own pace and be easy on yourself.
For ages I felt 'too gay' to be straight and 'too straight' to be gay, but now I'm happy bein whatever, just chilling and enjoying life.
So yeah once you're comfortable with yourself then it's time to boogie!
Honestly I could talk for dayzzzz haha but here's the playlist before you get bored!
These are all artists who identify as LGBT+, I think it's so important to remember that we're all human and despite all the labels etc it's so cool how music can bring us all together and I think that's just class like.
