Where Pride Resides
This is a tapestry I bought from Amazon around May of
last year. I decided to put this tapestry in my living room for incoming
visitors to see. To me, this photo and tapestry symbolizes not only the
normalization of marijuana, but also the normalization of gay and homosexual
identities in society. I want my visitors to understand that this is a home
that promotes love, positivity and individual freedom. I want my
visitors to know that this is a safe and judgement free zone for them to
express themselves comfortably in any way that they see fit. Most importantly,
I want you guys to know that you are accepted and loved. You are beautiful. You are perfectly imperfect and that is completely ok. You are you for a
reason and no reason at all. BE OPEN! BE PROUD!
Mariah,
ReplyDeleteI love that you were able to find a decoration that intertwines two elements of your personality that are so important to you. I love how positive and uplifting your blog feels and I truly get a sense of your tone and acceptance just from your short blog post. I think that to your readers, especially those who may know you well, knowing your home is a safe, judgement-free space is so important. With everything going on in our world from COVID-19, to the current political climate, to social justice issues, your blog seems to be a refreshing source of positivity. Your personality truly shines through your writing and I love that. Your writing style is so personal, it almost seems as through readers are listening to a friend.
Best, Holly

ReplyDeleteYou and I have been friends for about 2 or 3 years. I can honestly say, that the way you have already used this blog to promote positivity, acceptance and love...its amazing. I can see that you truly are someone who cares for others and wants people to know that you are someone they can come to and not be judged. I think that the world needs more people like you! Letting everyone know they are loved regardless of sexual orientation, gender identification, that they are loved for who they are and are free to be themselves. I am a straight woman but I am the daughter of a strong woman who, was married to my father for a time but now, I have two mothers! They have their days but my sisters and I have grown up knowing that it is completely 100% okay to have two moms or two dads, whatever the case may be! I am looking forward to what you have to say!!!
