you're a 10/10 because you care about people. you're a 20/10 because you show up for other people. you're a 30/10 because you listen without judgment. you're a 40/10 because you're grateful for the little things. you're a 50/10 because you make people smile. you're a 60/10 because you cheer for others success. you're a 70/10 because you help people with any expectations. you're a 80/10 because you check on people. you're a 90/10 because you make people feel safe. you're a 100/10 because you're becoming someone your younger self would be proud of.

HI QUEER Without you, the world is bland. WE need you here with us. Be visible. Be present. You have a uniqueness within you no hetero possesses. Your presence is more important than you know. You simply existing is comforting to all other queers. Whether you’re a barista, a nurse, a retail worker, an uber driver, musician, teacher, sanitation worker, etc. When a queer person sees you simply existing… they know they belong here too. I love you. You’re doing everything right, I promise.🏳️‍🌈

They keep saying moving isn’t gonna help but I’m not convinced esp. because I actually enjoy my solitude and the slow burn of connection that develops naturally….. Hmmm

It’s so strange, to be at a place where you have so many things in life that you always said you wanted, only to realize that those might not be the things that make you happy

I think quarter life crisis has finally hit me and it’s hitting hard. I find it harder to connect emotionally with the people around me despite the fact I crave friendship and hold so much love for them. While I’m sure there are others who are grappling with the same struggle, it still feels isolating constantly battling against this sense of internal pessimism and doubt. I’m trying to change the person I currently am to match the fully fleshed out version of myself I aspire to be but it’s a little tiring. This is not to say I’m a defeatist, I’m just wanting to vent. (Real talk it’s probably the weed break 😭🫶🏼)

As a queer person born and raised in a country where gay people are arrested and executed, I never understood fear in love. If I could overcome the fear of losing my life over love, how can you be scared of simple commitment?

If you’re talking to someone and they constantly interrupt you, despite you telling them to stop interrupting you, that person does not care about the words that are coming out of your mouth. You are not important enough to be listened to and heard in your full in that persons eyes

How do you find your queer oasis this festival season? Coachella and the start of the festival circuit often bring a mix of excitement and social anxiety. There are times in the masses of straight people that you just want to be with your queer community. Finding your oasis in the desert is about finding the people who make the space feel safe. Of course, there is the safe bet of attending queer artist sets. But, what about when they aren’t on stage? There may be queer events and spaces offered by these festivals but they are often hiding behind a VIP pass. So how can you find community without forking over even more cash? By heading to your profile and selecting Edit Profile, you can use Collective’s Trips Feature and add your upcoming festival trips to let others know where you will be. This allows you to connect with members before the gates even open. Establishing a check-in point with your group is crucial for safety but it can also serve as a hub for queer connection. You can use Collective to share your check-in point and meet new friends at the festival. This can be especially helpful to Collective members traveling solo. Stay safe and have fun, Collective.

STRAIGHT LINES I mistake my need for attention… for affection. My attachment my societal groupthink for love…and connection. The implanted idea that a man will make me… ME. I insist I am straight. I push… and I pull… and I finally let go and say… I think I might be… Bi? I sit down, and I cry. Deep down I know… that’s not the whole truth. So… I drink it. I smoke it. I snort it away. Cover it up. Cover me up. Line by line. Bottle by bottle. Until I feel nothing. Until I AM NOTHING. NUMB. I don’t want to feel… to be…ME anymore… Who am I? What am I? Why am I …here? WAKE UP. Sober up. I deserve… to be here. To be seen. To be heard. For my truth… to be known. Dump it all down the drain. One by one. Bottle by bottle. Bag by bag. Line by line. Strip it all away until it’s just…ME. ME. I’m not straight… or narrow… or anywhere in between. I am ME. I am free to be me. Unmasked. Unbottled. Unbroken. Unchained. Unshaken. Untamed. Unapologetically… GAY. — sageandrage

How to show up for trans and non-binary friends There is incredible beauty and resilience within the trans and non-binary community, but our friends should not have to carry the weight of the world alone. Support can be as simple as a call to let someone know you are thinking of them. Sharing solidarity posts, and following trans voices are other ways to ensure these voices are prioritized. Collective serves as a positive space for queer connection across the LGBTQ+ spectrum. It provides a community for members to share experiences and find resources. Contributing to mutual aid or gender-affirming surgery funds provides direct relief. Buying art from trans creators and promoting their music or books also helps sustain the community. Volunteering or fundraising for local LGBTQ+ centers makes a tangible difference. For those seeking peer support, The Trevor Project offers 24/7 crisis intervention and resources globally. If you have Collective, you can find more resources by going to your profile options and selecting Mental Health Support. To find more trans and non-binary Collective members, remember to use the non-binary search filter in the Browse People section of the app.

An excerpt “Disconnection. Waiting for the phone to ring, For someone to make sure I’m in well-being, I feel disconnected. I wonder what they think of me for real? Based on the rumors, I hear the word faggot being spread around. Based on the rumors, I’ve been in town but didn’t have the time to stick around. Assumptions. Assumptions based on rumor. I feel betrayed. I feel lied to. Finding the root to my anxiety, I feel betrayed and lied to. Brainwashed to think that family is the one thing there for you the whole way, Yet. Family has disappointed me more than anyone else. I don’t have to speak my truth, Because if anyone was interested in knowing the truth they would have called. I feel warmth! I feel happiness, carelessness, and freedom. Freedom. Freedom? I feel freedom of the cage that I have been raised in. To think, to feel accordingly to societies standards, yet, I broke out and am free. Free to see all of the contradictions in my upbringings teachings! This freedom is happiness. Not to care. Freedom is free from caring. From being perceived a way that only works in a perfect world. the world is not perfect and neither am I! And that is okay, I feel.” -Dream

Being an artist and an architect is completely challenging for me, because I don’t feel it’s possible to choose one and remove the other from my life - I am truly deeply passionate about both practices. I struggle when I focus on one of them, as part of me feels I am neglecting the other. Finding that balance is difficult. It is definitely something I have been reflecting on a lot.
