AAAAAAHHHHHH ITS NATIONAL
@vantablackheaux DAY!!! (Aka the day the world first welcomed the absolute force that is this incredible human being).
First, I’ll address the public: GO WISH
@vantablackheaux A HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIGHT THE FUCK NOW! Did y’all know that it is actually
@vantablackheaux himself who first inspired me to do drag? He handed me a giant fake blunt at the first Haus of Heaux show I ever attended and not only did I instantly fall in love with him as a performer, but it was him that made me first fall in love with drag. He has continued every day since then to not only inspire me to get better in terms of drag, but to be a better human, and to DO SHIT SCARED! Truly I could not put into words how much this human means to me, and how talented, impactful, and special he is, but I am sure going to try, so bear with me as I ramble in the latter portion of this message…
Now, to you, the birthday boy, my birthday boy. The moment you entered into my life, I knew my entire world was about to change for the better. Oh man was I right about that, but I also had no idea HOW much we were about to endure together to go through those changes. Throughout the past couple of years of having the privilege of knowing you, we have literally been through hell and back, and yet continued to grow and love through it. In the hellfire, we slowly built stability once again— sometimes literally dancing among the ashes just to find joy amongst what felt like such dark times. But god dammit, we danced, we cried on the kitchen floor, we laughed, we cried some more, and we got through, together. We grew through it, together. Even now, as the world becomes once again scorned as we watch the systems put in place collapse around us, I still find myself smiling and enjoying the little moments in between because when I look over it is with you by my side that we navigate through.
