Proud of Pride

I’ll admit it, I’ll admit it.

I put a lot of weight in visual appearance every minute.

At 15, I signed up to be an organ donor so I could get the red heart on my driver’s license.

Social media and saturation. I can’t seem to edit a picture without including doctored-up edits. I dig the more energetic aesthetics.

Over the weekend, I had the privilege of indulging my exuberant color palette in the San Francisco Pride Parade. I brought some of my best friends from my UVa days and we marched with my Facebook co-workers.

Just like there can be several shades of one color, there are several ways to going about living a happy life.

Like color, the more radiance in a person, the more beauty that’s captivated. The brighter the spirit, the greater the beauty.

So finally, love wins.

Pride.
