By My world changing is not loud. My standing up for what is right is quiet. I do not yell much…only sometimes usually through tears. My preferred method is to write how I feel then eventually turn it into a blog post. Also, sometimes, I turn how I feel into a video that is personal and universal at once. All of my content is never about politics. It’s about making the world better. My content is, sometimes, about right and wrong. I know what it’s like to be invisible and used as a prop to make someone feel or look better. Neither of those situations are fun.
In September 2019 with the launch of my blog: I took my power back by telling my story myself. Nobody else will create content for anything blog and/or social media related but me. I love the person I am becoming too much to hand anyone else the ability to tell my story or speak for me ever again. My chosen family and I have worked very diligently to get me to a place where telling my story was even in the realm of possibility not probability.
I have changed and I am daily because I am becoming more myself. It is not wrong or bad: it’s so right. Younger Stacey is watching in scared awe but she doesn’t need to be scared anymore. Grownup Stacey has her hand and will keep her safe. My chosen family will help me keep grownup me safe and help me keep being brave. I just wanted to share because I keep hearing how I have changed. It is not a compliment, but I am okay with it because the changes feel too good, true, and right for me to go back to sleep or not own my story with bravery daily.
