My First Explore at Pride Fest...

It was the most exciting moment I ever went to!

For years,

In my lifetime,

I had never been exploring this festival before –

It was one of the journeys that I should join more than I usually have.

Now, this was the first time I had ever been in my life.

It was a beautiful sunny day-

The weather is still warm in the summer-

It was the biggest moment for me to be open as much as I can.

It’s a big celebration!

It feels unique.

The pride festival is filled with everything!

Sunshine-

Colors-

Glitters-

Sparkles-

Music-

Vibes-

Food-

Families-

Friends-

Drinks-

Dance-

Masks-

Voices-

Flags-

Costumes-

Wigs-

Cheers-

Cool Boots and heels-

Beads-

Capes-

Cloaks-

Dresses-

Laughs-

Giggles-

It was a big crowd!

When I got in–

I felt released,

I felt joy.

It was quite exciting!

Super exciting!

I always get nervous in a large crowd, no matter where I go.

I see smiles

I see laughs

I see cries of happiness–

I see people shouting with joy–

I see people using their voices–

I see people singing and dancing.

I see people enjoy themselves.

Everyone is having a great time!

Everyone showed themselves!

Everyone lifted their voices loud and high!

I'm glad!

I'm glad I came!

Do You know what I did?

Yes!

I had a great time too!

I was dancing–

I bust my moves—-

I was singing–

I was smiling—

I enjoy myself along with my family and their smiles—

After the fest, I knew it didn't feel the same.

I know the world is always still hard -–in reality, hate is still dangerous to us–but love is very important to stop this toxic world.

Love is more worthy and stronger than hate.

We don't deserve to be a shame,

We don't deserve to be judged,

We all deserve to be who we are —

I deserve to be proud of myself!

I should be more proud and keep using my voice every day and night.

I still have to keep myself with the good things, No matter what if I have good days or bad days— I have to keep my voice and my pride open.
