“I just feel so fortunate, you know? … I feel so happy.”

—  Ellen Page

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.

“The love I feel for you
Is so deep and runs so true
That I even love the longing
That I feel because of you.”

Tenho por ti uma paixão
Tão forte tão acrisolada,
Que até adoro a saudade
Quando por ti é causada
