bisexualshakespeare:

“I have never been able to understand people with consistent lives – people who, for example, grow up in a liberal Catholic household and stay that way; or who in junior high school are already laying down a record on which to run for president one day. Imagine having no discarded personalities, no vestigial selves, no visible ruptures with yourself, no gulf of self-forgetfulness, nothing that requires explanation, no alien version of yourself that requires humor and accommodation. What kind of life is that?”

— Michael Warner, “Tongues Untied” in Curiouser: On the Queerness of Children (216)

sometimes you imagine yourself on the right side of hispaniola, in the city, living near your cousins and they remember who you are and what your name is. sometimes you want to be surrounded by people who think they have to love you no matter what because you are blood related. sometimes i want to stay and never look back and be paid nothing and wake up early sunday mornings to go to the chinese market and see the turtles with my uncle.

sometimes you imagine yourself in miami, living near childhood friends and your parents. they remember what you actually like and your day to day temperaments. sometimes you want to recognize faces everywhere you go and speak in slang you’re used to. sometimes i want to stay and live in traffic and go to the dive bar underneath the highway.

sometimes you imagine yourself in brazil, living near people who became family and they remember you at your worst and still love you.
