Collages, video and a Challenge!

Hey you guys!

How was your week!? Mine was interesting to say the least.

I have alot to share with you today!

I want to start it off with a collage that I made in support of March the 31st having been International Transgender of Visibility Day.

I have a personal story about being trans that I’d like to share.

My friend Marcie was trans. She was very kind to me when alot of people just simply judged me.

As some know, I am bi but Marcie saw me for me.

You’d think that the LGBTQ community wouldn’t judge at all but you’d be wrong there.

Many wonder when it comes to bi-sexuality why bis don’t just choose a side. Marcie did NOT judge me though and that meant the world to me.

Marcie was very excited about getting surgery but when she left for it that was the last time that I saw her.

It truly broke my heart and that is why I take that type of surgery so seriously. I made this video in memory of her saying it will be ok. It will be ok, so please let people live their life, their way!

I still believe in surgery for Trans because you truly would not know what it means to them. I understand it’s a risk because Marcie helped me to see just how much of a risk it is. She also helped me to see just how much it meant to her though.

The thing is, life is a risk. Without surgery life can be more harmful to some. It just depends on the case. If people truly cared, they would at least take that fact into consideration.

I wish the world weren’t so judgemental about things of that nature.

I wish the world were more like Marcie and didn’t judge! I hope that everyone who is trans knows that I see you and you matter!

Your outsides don’t make the person you are, your Spirit does. Nobody can take away your spirit.

Moving on, I also made a collage showing what I’ve shared this week! This doesn’t show everything but it does show some.

and Jon Ossoff!!

They can count on me to always support them!

Wade Herring: https://www.wadeherringforcongress.com/

Jon Ossoff: https://www.ossoff.senate.gov/

Contact them about any political issues and let your voices be heard because YOU MATTER!!!

Don’t ignore injustice because as the great Martin Luther King said injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Fear can paralyze a community and get people to become silent about the things that matter most.

Do not let others drag fear into your heart. Do not stay silent!

As said in Stephen King’s The Stand, Make your STAND!

This world will be better if people work together to help each other before more problems occur.

Huge thanks to KVADPhoto+PRO2 and Paint 3D for providing such wonderful options!

I have to suggest them to any artist!

Until next time.

Namaste,

Angela
