…never good enough…
I once had this dream…
There was this boi who had everything, or so everyone thought. He did well in school, was active in extracurricular activities, and got along well with just about everyone. It looked like he had the perfect life–great friends, a loving family, good grades, etc. On the outside, everything was complete, and yet on the inside, he was a total mess. In a society dominated by hegemonic media images and stereotypes, this boi was consumed by his insecurities and overwhelmed by his flaws. In this dream though, he was able to look beyond all of this and find happiness and success beyond all the setbacks. His family embraced his individual choices, and his boifriend stood by his side supporting him the whole way through. As he ran to embrace all of his loved ones though…
I woke up alone, it was just a dream–nothing more than a dream…
When will it be more than a dream?
…ni zai zhuo shenme?…wo de xin zai ku…
