· 3 pulledI didn't want to have to take medication and have people think different of me.
I'm already Black and gay, like damn, God. Come on, Black, gay, and bipolar? I'm living life on extreme hard mode.
On a serious note, I'm doing much better, I'm feeling better. I'm creating freely, and there's less fear in my heart, and I'm smelling the roses.
