I Believe… [Pride Should Be Justified]
…that one should demonstrate pride in something accomplished rather than mere existence.

I mean, I’m straight but I can’t say it’s necessarily anything to be proud of.
There was no thunder, no glowing doorway, no mysterious wind blowing through the apartment, and no choir of angels politely alerting me that physics had submitted its resignation.
The deck simply felt heavier.
