So, the other day I was in the bed thinking about what if the "love" thing never happens for me. What if myself and my BFF end up growing old together and we keep each other company...and how would I feel about that!
At first this image of myself and 2 or 3 other grown ass trannies and punks at the age of 60's living in a house together. Yes it wouldn't be what my idea of growing old, but in the end this wouldn't be that bad! At least I have friends, most gay people especial black gay men we do not have friends. We have people in our lives that judge us and bring us down or even build us up, but many black gay men do not have friendships. We as gay people build these false bubble around us, and we choice because we don't trust people to live in lies.
Living in these lies created the false friendships and false relationship build on lies and falsehoods. We do not trust others so we build walls so people can't trust us! We hide things that we feel people will judges us for instead of just being judged and learning from those judgement. Next to your family real friends should have the right to make judgments and your life and be able to tell you how they feel without the backlash, you would give to a stranger. Also we should be able to confide in true friends without the worried of our secrets being exposed and revived.
Friends, like lovers are special and it is hard to find real friends. So if I grow old and have to live life like the golden girls, maybe it wouldn't be that bad because at least I know I have real friendships.
