Lana Wachowski used to be Larry. Sometime in the last decade she completed her transition. Last month, Lana was honored by the HRC with a Visibility Award. Her acceptance speech was honest, and moving, and my favorite part is when she recalls her brother defending her to reporters.
That's a good brother.
None of us is ever really alone. It feels like that sometimes. Sometimes it feels that way a lot of the time, but it it's never really true. It's cliche as fuck, but we need rainy days to appreciate the sunshine. The world can be brutal, and it's easy to give into feeling weak when it knocks you around.
But the other side of that is knowing that your will to be free, and to be happy, is infinitely stronger than the world's projections. And coming out of your dark place enables you to give more light back to the world. We're light beings, after all, so giving light is like our nature.
