Grace Baldridge Instagram – I used to think I would hide and hoard all the old photos before I became myself. I was so embarrassed and very rough on the person in those photos. Certain things do not get easier (at least not for me). But I’ve gotten healthier and wiser and the passage of time is a balm. If we hang out today I might even volunteer some of the greatest hits from my closeted era(s). But I’m not doing it to laugh at myself. Although, laughing always helps. I look back at old photos to honor that person. A very brave kid who was doing their best with the information and access they had… lord farquaad must be held accountable for his influence on the hair of young gays. Anyway, love yourself. Cheers to the late bloomers. Keep going.
