"I’ve literally always been gay. When I was about 12 my grandmother showed me old homemade videos of a family member named “Pat” that was murdered long before I was born. I was both saddened by the story yet in awe at the dances they were doing. Just in the living room tearing it up. I wanted to move like that. I asked her what kind of dance that was and she showed me “Paris is Burning” I don’t think either of us knew how important that moment was then.
My older gay cousin (also in ballroom) who used to “babysit” me got nervous about leaving me home alone started allowing me to tag along with him and his friends to these events where we always had to lie about my age to get me in. Somehow he felt better doing that instead of just leaving me in the house, wtf?.
Being in ballroom so young kind of forced me to be an adult way before I should have had to. I was put in situations children shouldn’t even know to exist and I’m sure I have some trauma because of it. It’s possible a lot of the bad habits and behaviors I’ve been unlearning recently are products of my youth which was honestly saturated in ballroom.
Experience is knowledge. Knowledge is gold. I’m rich asf honestly. So, I’m grateful. Sometimes I look back and think “if I knew this then I’d do this.” As I look at the people I went to school with and converse with them, I realize I’m way ahead of myself as opposed to where I could have been, having I not found ballroom or myself. The education just hits different over here because I’ve always known what was up. They’re in a different place. I’m so sure it’s because they’re basic and ballroom-less”
