So...
I'm in this theater troupe, called True Colors.
Basically, we educate people through theater about the lgbtq+ community.
We're activists.
We have this community performance this Tuesday and as usual, I'm nervous as fuck.
Its a musical. About dreams.
Our dreams, dreams for our community, dreams for the future, dreams of activists who came before, like Angela Davis.
Its kinda corny, but its made me think a lot, like hardcore overthinking, about my own dreams.
My dreams: Getting into college, Getting my name and gender marker changed legally...
Dreams for the community: Homes, Clothes, Hormones, Medical care, Education, Legal protection and access to shared history, community, safety, respect...
Dreams of activists who came before: Very similar dreams and goals that I have...
The title of our show is "Louder than Words".
And I guess what that means is that, having dreams can be nice and all. But you have to take action. You have to take action, and, "be the change you want to see in the world.
There's a lot I want to change, and make my dreams a reality.
Do y'all dream? What are your dreams for yourself, your community, the future?
Those are pretty fucking dope dreams :)
ReplyDeleteDreams for myself- go to college and succeed, go to law school and succeed and like Alexis said maybe try to fix the flawed justice system.
ReplyDeleteDreams for my community: that we can all love one another (unrealistic dream , I know) , I want my community to be safer.... idk lol
Future: I just want to be happy and make my family and myself proud
Same! I want to my community to be safe too!
