"Rock bottom is not a sexual position, and I found that out the hard way."
Growing up in a small countryside town may sound idyllic, but being the only Queer kid in the middle of nowhere was confusing and I felt completely out of place. For years I searched for a magic resolve or a miracle opportunity to ‘cure’ my Gayness, transform my life and save me from myself. I didn’t know that I didn’t need it and that I was fine as I was. I never thought to look to myself as a source of empowerment.
Homeless and lonely, with no-one to blame was the biggest wake up call; a true example of my toughest challenges becoming the foundations of some my proudest moments. Do I have my shit together? Not entirely, but reflecting on my personal growth over the last few years is encouraging and the process has been enlightening.
I don’t have all the answers, but I started a podcast to meet inspiring people and try and find a lot more of them.
