I Never Said I Wanted To Be

I Think It's Really Cool That There Are People Like Adele On The Cover Of 'vogue' And 'rolling Stone,' And Like I Think It's Really Important That People Are Talking About Your Body, Because If They Don't, Then You'll Never Be Able To Break That Barrier.

I Thought To Be Feminine Was To Give In To Straight Culture, Or The Beauty Standard, But In My Heart I Had A Flair For Fashion And Style. They Were Passions I Kept Secret Because I Didn't Understand I Could Love Clothes And Hair And Makeup And Still Like Girls.

I'm Not Sure That I Am Able To Feel Embarrassment.

High School Wasn't So Bad Though Because, By Then, I Had Worked Out That There Were Far More Nerdy Kids And Poor Kids Than There Were Rich, Popular Kids, So, At The Very Least, We Had Them Outnumbered.

Growing Up As A Chubby Kid With A Ton Of Imaginary Friends And A Cyndi Lauper Obsession, I Learned About Rejection Early On And Was Constantly Trying To Avoid It.
