Queer education over everything else

 Education is the key to all the access you need. Education is the best impact of change. Education is the gateway to true success. I find that a lot of my queer and black peers are not as educated as we need to be. Unfortunately, everyone has different struggles and circumstances. However, that isn't an excuse. The excuses are ways to avoid change and true understanding. As we read this read my blog, this blog is to build understanding. I do feel as though the resources that are provided today have no exceptions to what we as a community can grow and learn from. Now I personally have made my mistakes. I do feel like my mistakes have been made socially. I have put myself in a headspace where I choose the wrong situations and people. I am now unlearning this part of my life. The goal of this post is to try to help my audience unlearn this part of their life as well. Or any part they see themselves falling short of understanding. However, one of the many issues that are faced in our community is trying to be more of a community than anything. I feel like the division is because of the lack of community knowledge. This will help all of us live a softer and more impactful life. For example, we are deemed "monkeys" , "wild", "petty", "Full of drama", and "unprofessional". They see us as never being on time and always last minute to everything. I don't subscribe because of my background and my privileges' but some were not raised with excellence. This is not to judge those who weren't but to help others reach that light at the end of the tunnel. I know many of us want more but do we put in the actual work to want more? What are you doing to acquire that "more". Are your intentions in the right place? Are you set in your ways? I saw a lady ask another lady on the bus to sit with her, Mind you she allowed the lady to sit with her, but tried to touch her items insinuating that she was in the way... I just thought was the most ignorant thing. It triggered me to think like wow, if you didn't want her to sit next to you, you could have said no. She also could have moved over to the other seat. Idk, it was like a moment of clarity. My black community is so hard up and its sad. This caused me to think, am I the same way? Am I as angry? For all my Queer and Black American Readers, do you feel like you are not living your soft educated life due to past trauma and circumstances? What are you doing to help yourself? Would you like to find peace after turmoil? Is it possible for all of us to change and get on the same page?
