We left home later than we initially planned. The parade was already over by the time we arrived at the plaza. Truth be told, I was still pondering whether we should go or not after breakfast. So it wasn’t a surprise that we missed the whole parade. Still, I managed to capture some images. As always, we left the event prematurely and left me wishing we could have stayed longer.
Happy Pride. Happy and Pride. Sometimes you simply cannot have them both.
Today is the last day of May, which means Pride Month starts tomorrow. I decorated my window with a Progress Pride flag, even though barely anyone else could see it. I display it because I’m proud of who I am, and definitely done with fear of being judged.
It was never planned. Oftentimes it was just a longer gaze into each other’s eyes. And I would sense immediately what’s on his mind. It happened again earlier today..
“What are you thinking?” Still, I’d ask.
“You know.. about the future..” my companion said, with a slight sadness in his eyes.
We’ve always known that it would be tough as we grow older together. But it doesn’t reduce the sense of helplessness and the senseless loneliness that we both feel. As always, instead of saying anything, I held him tight in my arms and breathed in his scent..
