Aries concept: me, feeling the kind of overwhelming love and peace i’ve only ever felt in dreams. i pinch myself. it’s real
Taurus concept: me, waking up on a mountainside, surrounded by flowers. a river flows nearby. my responsibilities are nowhere to be seen
Gemini concept: the moon has never been bigger than it is tonight. i climb out onto the roof. she is close enough to kiss
Cancer concept: me, sailing through the milky way with many-coloured stars caught in my hair. there’s no pain up here, only laughter and peace
Leo concept: my wings carry me higher and higher and i watch the world become smaller and smaller
Virgo concept: i have been sleeping for years. in my dreams i have lived a thousand lives, learned a thousand things, and now i am ready to wake
Libra concept: it’s like a lifelong winter in my mind suddenly thaws, and i smile like a blooming flower on the first day of spring
Scorpio concept: me, swimming amongst the stars. their iridescent light fills me with a sense of peace i didn’t know i was capable of. my fingers are covered in starlight
Sagittarius concept: me, lying in a field of many, many flowers. daisies grow through the cracks in my body. i’ll be okay
Capricorn concept: me, removing the melancholy parts of my mind and putting it all aside for a while. i dance and climb trees and sing and run around with boundless energy
Aquarius concept: me, laying on a hillside, far away from everything i know. waiting for nothing. i have all the time in the world
Pisces concept: me, loved eternally by the wind and the rain and the grass and the moon and the sun and the earth and the sky and the stars
i have vivid memories from when i was younger, between the ages of like 9 and 14, consciously trying to make myself have crushes on random mediocre boys i knew just because i knew girls were ‘supposed’ to have crushes on boys. it reached the extent where i always felt awkward around boys because i felt like i should be attracted to them and consequently tried to force myself to be
but thinking about my childhood/early teen years in retrospect i can think of numerous girls who i had crushes on, except i didn’t recognise it at the time because i hadn’t even realised crushes on other girls were a thing i could have. and these weren’t subtle crushes, i just completely failed to recognise them and instead grew up feeling weird and alienated by love/romance because nobody ever gave me any indication that liking girls was fine and okay

@ bi youth: your identity is whole. you are not half anything. you are completely bi. it is a whole identity, in and of itself: a real, lived actuality that carries its own history, culture, and pride. you do not need to search for any missing pieces, because being bi is complete, and it’s possible, and it’s you.

The original flag, by Gilbert Baker, June 25, 1978.
“The first Gay Pride flag was made in 1978 by a man named Gilbert Baker. He gave a meaning to each color.”
Beginners (2010) - Directed by Mike Mills
Fun fact! The reason we don’t see hot pink and turquoise in the modern flag is literally due to money and accessibility! Back when these were being hand dyed, the dyes for pink and teal were the most expensive. To make the flag easier for everyone to be able to afford (or make on their own), pink and teal were excluded, and their meaning is someone’s associated with the color below it now. Red now meaning sexuality and life, blue meaning magic and harmony.
