Maybe, just maybe,
the goal is to find love
by myself,
not with anyone else,
not for myself,
just by myself
and maybe, just maybe,
whatever I find
I’ll share it with you

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.

It is hard, but love has to be shared...with others and oneself (a lesson I'm still learning). Thank you for this.
The willingness to share whatever is found with another person reflects a selfless and genuine connection, thank you for sharing this heartfelt piece Jordan, love your works, hope to read more, subscribed.
I love this, Jordan. I think there is so much truth in your words. It also, whether intended or not, is great advice for anyone really. Learn to love yourself and understand what love is to you as an individual before opening up for anyone else. Gorgeous poem!
Glad you wrote this.
