Kesha performs a same sex marriage in her new video and honestly it made me tear up a little.
I grew up believing that I didn’t deserve to walk the planet and that God created me just so he could destroy me. Without realizing it, I took that lie into myself and spent the first 20 years of my adult life trying to erase myself from the planet on my own terms first — a stunted and tragic attempt to grab some small piece of empowerment back from a universe whose injustices were too big to comprehend — even as I believed I was walking free and proud.
I finally learned how to find love for myself and to accept that there is a place for myself in this universe, that no piece of the creation can ever a mistake, not even me, and that the only abominations are the ones that humans enact on ourselves and one another. I still live a relatively isolated life, I have a hard time trusting people and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to love on a romantic level again after all the abuse I accepted as a substitute for the attention my spirit craved.
But I know that if I do, it will be because my love is just as valuable as a creative energy as anyone else’s, and I hope my moment is every bit as heartwarming as the one depicted here.
