Self image is nothing
For many of you
But for me
It means a lot
It means the world
It is everything
It is all about self respect
It is all about self worth
I feel this from the depths of my heart
I want to maintain it
My self image is everything
My self respect is more than love
The love that I gave to you
It has broken me from the inside
I have spent many restless nights
Yes, it is true
My self image is everything
It is more than love
The love that I gave to you
Love without respect is nothing
Love without trust is nothing
And my self image is everything

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.
