I don’t want to be 
your entire world, no.
I would be happy
just to be your morning coffee,
your hanging car keys,
your wallet.

Something seemingly
insignificant,
but if lost throws off
your entire day.

5 beautiful months with my beautiful Queen.

All my babies are graduating today. I am so proud of them. However, every time it’s graduation season, I get super sad and try not to put myself down for dropping out of school or just not doing what I had to do when I was in school. I do believe college is not for everyone. I’m in love with the idea of college, but being a good student is something I always struggled with.

I must say I’ve accomplished so much without a degree and I have to constantly remind myself of that. I’m in a good place right now and I’m where a lot of people want to be after they graduate from college.

I just get so hooked on this fantasy of living the college life and I miss it. I miss dorming and staying up until 4am to finish my finals. I miss The New School specifically because it was my dream to go there.

I guess I’m just feeling a lot of things today. I just have to remind myself that I have done good for myself and a degree does not make me a whole person; it does not show how smart I am; it does not mean I’ve failed.

Not finishing college just means my path is very different from the path my friends have taken and that is okay.

I had the opportunity to speak out about LGBTQ youth of color being targeted and profiled by the NYPD, a need for permanent affordable housing for LGBTQ youth, CopWatch, Communities United for Police Reform, and other alternatives to the NYPD at the Save the Drama! LGBTQ Homeless Youth Forum Theatre Fest here in the West Village. Great discussion with great people.

Check out the trailer to our kickstarter.

‘Know How’ speaks truth to how being in the foster care system really is! It’s a film about the foster care system and how we - the youth in the system - are being impacted by this system. These are real stories. These are real people. These are our lives as foster care youth.

We’re almost done with this amazing project, but we need your help to finish it!

For more information on how you can help, check out the Know How Movie Facebook page and don’t forget to share this with your friends, family, and loved ones.

We’re going to change things around here, but we need your help to do it!
