To welcome Autumn, an all time favourite poem by Romanian Legendary Poet Nichita Stanescu. The translation is my own.

Autumn Emotion

By Nichita Stanescu

Autumn has come, cover my heart with something

With the shadow of a tree or better with your shadow

I’m afraid I will never see you again, sometimes, 

That I’ll grow wings sharpened all the way to the clouds

That you will hide inside a foreign eye

And with an absinthe leaf will close itself goodbye

So then I get closer to stones and get silent,

I take the words and drown them in the sea,

Whistle the moon and rise it and pretend it 

Into a great big love

**********************************************

Emotie de Toamna

A venit toamna, acoperă-mi inima cu ceva,

Mă tem că n-am să te mai văd, uneori,

Şi-atunci mă apropii de pietre şi tac,

Enjoy!

A piece of my STORY

From the time I was very young... four years old or so I knew I was different. I was different than my brother and my male friends. I tended to feel things so deeply. At the age of six was the first time I had thought about ending my life. Within a few years I realized that I fell within the LGBTQ+ community. By my teenage years I was engulfed in self-destructive behaviors. Self-mutilation, body dysmorphia, drug and alcohol use and an ever growing sense of self-loathing. I survived suicide multiple times. As I entered college I was in full addiction and spiraling out of control. Until one night me and my drug dealer had a talk about God. She simply was sharing her story with me about her connection with God. After our conversation I went to the bathroom and fell to my knees asking God to save my life. I knew if I continued on the path I was on I would surely end up dead. From that moment everything shifted and changed.

In Ryans words:

I labeled myself as a Gay Addict unworthy of Love.

God labeled me perfect.

God labeled me loved.
