growing up, i was taught boys don’t cry

Reclaiming my fury

One of the greatest gifts of my healing journey is reclaiming my fury. Joy doesn’t erase other emotions—it coexists with them. It’s not a denial of the realities of anger, sadness, or fear. But a reminder that you can experience the full spectrum of emotions and still...

joy is a form of resistance
