New adventures of Cristina

Journal entry

By Cristina CastellanoPublished 3 months ago • 2 min read

Here I sit. The room can best be described as a cell but as you know there is a vast difference between a cell and a small space.The thoughts race as fast as the water flowing in a stream. What can it be, what will it be, and why did it take so long to be. I've waited so long and was so hesitant to let Cristina run the show. Why, the answer is simple of course. Society, What the world sees at face value the thoughts and stares along with the low chatter of rejection is enough to make me feel like im trapped in a prison. How can that be because when i think about it there is so much beauty in this world to restrict myself to four walls of white.I hope on this new journey of cris i can finally live at peace and be free, trust me when i say i haven't been a saint but i know that there is something or someone that knows my heart and the reflection that it radiates is not of dark and gray but is as bright as the colors on the flag that i am finally able to accept. I just wish others would accept me like i accept them, because in this small amount of time we are here on earth it shouldn't matter if im cristina at the end of day i am still a human being that bleeds red and will never shy away from lending a shoulder to cry on, or a hand to hold regardless of the title one may have.Cheers to the idea and realization that my time in a room or cell is at its end, and that he may have favor on me and guide me on my new journey. All praise to him for the opportunity to finally be me in lakewood ohio, a place that is welcoming to lgbtq members such as myself. Forgive my rant but expression of the mind and soul and heart is freeing, and for once in my life I can finally free myself of this self imprisonment and recognize I deserve this. Cristina deserves this, I will continue to radiate the colors of the flag and shine as bright as they do without hesitation. There is far to much beauty in this world to sit imprisoned and watch life pass you by while you make grand plans for it............
