Home.

i logged into Fridae and saw the video made for the PinkDot event during June this year.

in the video, there was an elderly old green couple where one of them was crippled and they were both taking a drive and there was this scene when the passenger looked at his partner, then extended his hand on his partner’s hands, reminded me of how we used to do that and i would place my hands on his and then he would lightly grab my fingers while driving, and a surge of bittersweet memories came up and i couldn’t contain the tears. that was what we could have been and what we could have become in the long run, but that’s for another post.

my ex boyfriend has always told me he’s more like “PinkDot” and me being more “gay pride”, which he means i’m more aggressive when it comes to taking a stand for LGBT community, but he’s less aggressive and proves equality through his profession, something i really admire him on. he sees me as being the aggressive type that speaks out loud but i’ve always told him i don’t speak aggressively at all, and he never gets that and has always assumed that i was the one picking fights with so much anger and hate, something i probably need to pause and evaluate myself for since i’ve always felt miserable with a lot of anger but not to the extent that i would vent it out aggressively.

the video was so moving that i teared when i watched how vile society can be with discrimination against love. hopefully one day i will be able to attend PinkDot with my partner, celebrate our love and make a stand against discrimination.

there’s still so much more to learn.
