July 2: Over the Rainbow

I own nothing!


The parade was today and I was scared as hell about participating. What would my family think or my friends for that matter? I wanted to show my pride but I was worried about the out come of it. How did I get talked into things like this? I don't think I'm ready to make this big step yet. Everything is going to change once I step into that parade. I don't think I can do this...I can't... Ok just breath before you start waking people up. Alright, I'm just trying to psych myself out before anything could happen. This is the life I have chosen, no not chosen, but the life I was destined to have. The way people think will not change who I am or who I love. I have to take this next step no matter if I have people to support me. Ok, I know I have at least one person that has and will support me. He has supported me and has opened my eyes to how I live. I'm so grateful to him and love him with all my heart. I wouldn't be where I am today if he wasn't by my side helping, encouraging, and supporting me. I was always happy but with him I'm ecstatic and glowing all the time. I have to go to that parade and show the pride I have kept hidden for so long. I think I'm ready now.

"Why are you up so early, hon?"

"I didn't wake you did I. I was just thinking about today."

"If you're not ready I won't force you to go with me."

"Well, I was worried at first but then I realize that I can do it. I'm ready to face this with you and support you, I mean us."

"Oh, are you worried about what might happen while we are there? I'm kinda worried."

"Yes and no. I'm worried but they have no right to tell us who we can love or how we should live. This will be the first step of the rest of our lives and I'm ready to take it with you."

"Really, are you really saying what I think you're saying, Park?"

"Yes I am. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Eugene. Let's get ready for the day and everything else to come after."

We arrived at our destination and my eyes bugged out. There were people everywhere and dress like everything or anything. I really couldn't describe what I was seeing or just experiencing right then. I just let Eugene drag me around the place while we look for some of his friends. I almost felt out of place but I also felt at home, weird. Once I was introduced to Eugene's friends it was time to start the parade. This parade was amazing and I just had to join in some of the fun. There were some guys doing flips over the rainbow flag so I went over to join. I was having so much fun and I turned around to see my future just smiling back at me. Everything felt right and I couldn't wait.


I hope y'all like it. Have an adventure.
