No fancy project or anything, just a fun little drawing. However, I’d like to say a few things. Within the past four years, I’ve struggled to find myself Four years is CRAZY to me, it feels like I was just 11, but soon I’m turning 16 That’s so wild Anyways, even though I struggled I eventually managed to get a good grasp on what I could label myself as With lots of trial and error, of course. I know many don’t like labels, but to me it is a comfort and a security factor And it feels NICE, man Hopefully, since I know many of you are slowly finding yourselves as well, come across it smoothly <3 you are valid, regardless of whether or not others agree with it. Except if you’re a map or somethin, get outta here you aren’t part of our community lmao Also! Quick heads up since I know there are gonna be lots of pride events: If you go to any please be aware that this year may be worse, so here are some precautions you can take: • Wear comfortable attire that you can move QUICKLY in • Pre-plan destinations OFF GROUNDS of the event that you and the people you’re with can go to in emergencies • Bring aid supplies • Bring something for defense IF possible. Personally I bring small, and easily accessible things like blunt or pointy objects and hide it in my shirt, sleeves, pockets, bra (or binder), or shoes Please do not bring a full on weapon if you are not allowed to or are too young, however! Just to avoid unnecessary trouble. I AM NOT ENCOURAGING VIOLENCE I AM ENCOURAGING DEFENSE AND SAFETY. And be wary of crowd crush if you are in densely packed areas during events. Keep in mind that crowds move like water, go with the flow. Crowd crush is when a dangerously packed group of people are funneled together and cause others to fall, consequently creating a domino effect These SERIOUSLY injure people, many die. Please be careful, do not go against the flow of the crowd and make sure you are taking note of exits. Stay safe out there! - Oh also I’m gonna be releasing a project soon for pride icon requests :flushed: so keep an eye out for that
