 I am sad (but happy) to announce this has been my first 'Pride' event. ...shocking to myself, probably not you kitties but I am a very pro-equality supporter. So I am very late on my support game.

It was magical. Everyone was so nice and oddly even in the crowd people would apologize had they bumped you. Which is not a norm to me. I am not a dancer and and just wanted to photograph the moments. I set up camp (you could say) next to this gentleman that got the best spot in the crowd. He had his tripod set up with of course his camera. It was spread out like a spider and people drinking kept tripping over the legs. A woman around 45 and myself ended up subconsciously guarding his left and right all night directing peoples' steps around the it. The gentleman was very appreciative.

Another known fact by people I know personally. I am a drinker. I like to drink. Especially in social settings because I am just so sociably awkward. It eases the nerves. I was sober all night.

Not admitting to any drinking problem. I just have found myself a boyfriend and group of people I do not feel the need to party around in order to have a good time. I do not need to prove myself to anyone or force social interaction. My personality flows effortlessly with them. It is awesome. I did not have a drink all night and felt fantastic. A rare occurance my 21 year old self would have never dreamed.

Silly. I know. But a year ago I was in an abusive relationship (tmi) and after that experience faded I never saw myself moving on (again!). Just hold tight and listen to those words of encouragement. It works out!
