Hey you guys!

I really hope that you had a great weekend.I have a few things to share with you this week.

I wanted to start off sharing a poem that I wrote!

Here is an audio of my reading it. I never did like reading aloud, I just did so in auditions years ago because I wanted to be around those I worked with!

Although, this is YEARS later and my health is hugely different or kinda different. I still struggle with reading aloud. Only today it’s more of an emotional thing.

Anyway, here ya go!!

Next, I wanted to share a digital collage that I put together based on a painting made years ago.

This was inspired by LeAnn Rimes because I had a huge crush on her while in High School.

I did not start painting until 2004 but it was still inspired by that.

You can only tell that it was LeAnn because of the tattoo on her ankle.

I never felt 100% ok with being who I was because I was told from some family that I was just trying to be like those in my family who were gay.

Even today, I tend to wonder but today I am confident enough to know that I know myself better than anyone.

During high school was a different story and when this painting was made I was taken right back to that feeling.

In high school I’d go from straight to gay alot and sometimes bi as well but not always.

People want you to pick a side and stick with it.

Right after surgery, I honestly had NO sexual feelings at all for a few years but I remembered some of my past and how it made me feel.

I was told by one of my girlfriends when I was in high school that you can’t be gay and be a country singer.

Our song was Terri Clark’s Now That I Found You. We loved that song!

I remembered her saying that and how it completely broke my heart.

Of course, today is VERY different and those in country music have proven her words wrong.

I was going to create a video and share it on my youtube channel but that won’t work.

Here’s a video I created awhile ago though.

I wasn’t going to turn it into a youtube video but oddly enough, my computer will allow me to edit that video but no other.

It’s very odd!

Anyway, here is the video… I hope that it helps you in someway to know that you are not alone!!! You matter and are perfect just as you are!!!

Until next time!!!

Namaste,

Angela
