Damn, this read wrung me out. I don't even know how you could've gone back after that. |

That's quite the deconstruction. It was truly amazing to read. Your journey reminds me of an old poem titled Written on the Wall of Xilin Temple. "Its frontal view is a mountain range, the side view a peak. At a differing altitude or distance, the view changes. One may not be able see the true face of Mount Lu, Just because they are in the mountain themselves." Your distance has provided you with so much wonderful perspective. Admittedly, it was a hard read for me. I too came from a similar background. I was blessed with so many people who describe the mountain of hypocrisy I was standing upon. My white, straight, and cisgender identities lead to me coming away from that place with much of the ideology intact- smuggled within me. It took a long time to unlearn violence, domination, and apathy. The work never ends but I'm pleased to see I'm in good company, staring upon that godforsaken peak. |
