Drag show

i just got back from the Americorps "drag show", and it was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Jasmine and Ian somehow got Grant to put on Jasmine's romper and perform a Queen song on stage. The romper was so short you could see his boxers, which amazingly matched the romper perfectly. My team was crying laughing the whole time. Grant struggles with social anxiety (which you would never guess about him, people are always surprising me). He is very open about it, and always  makes choices requiring him to put himself out there. He's always the first one  volunteering to speak for our team in group settings and is always challenging himself into new social situations. This is incredibly inspiring to me, and I hope that he knows every day how wonderful and impact he makes on all of the people around him. Another guy named Travis dressed in a sheer lace shirt, tight jeans, and glitter heels and performed Praying by Ke$ha. He got so into the performance that I had goosebumps, and by the end of it he was actually crying. Everybody stood up and cheered for him, it was so touching I can't put words to it. The drag show was a reminder of how amazing human beings really can be. Each person brought something so unique, beautiful, and often hilarious. Anybody in that room could do absolutely anything they wanted, no matter how weird or different, and they would be embraced with cheers and roars of laughter and hugs. That is the kind of world I want to live in! A world where good people  can be unapologetically themselves and be unconditionally loved for it!

Also, turns out blogging from my phone isn't that difficult after all... although it may be a bit all over the place. clearly I couldn't even stay away  from this for even a day.

Peace and blessings
