“But feeling is so different from knowing.”
My common sense tells me all you can say, but there are times when common sense has no power over me. Common nonsense takes possession of my soul.

“I just feel so fortunate, you know? … I feel so happy.”
Context: I just feel so fortunate, you know? … I feel so happy. I feel so different from how I felt when I was closeted, and to have experiences where I meet people who have been touched in some way by just getting to be who I am is such an incredible experience... I'm in a very fortunate place in my life.
I'm a very privileged person to get to talk about issues, particularly those that affect people much, much more vulnerable to me … I feel really grateful to be in a position where potentially I can do little things or whatever I possibly can to help anyone any way I can.
