My name is Remy Styrkowicz and I happen to be a Black bisexual, trans man adopted into a white family. I’ve survived years of drug addiction, OCD, anxiety and depression, racism, suicidal thoughts, transphobia, the death of my mom, a pandemic, sexual assault. Yet, none of that defines me. It’s shaped me, but it’s not me.
I think about who I am, and I feel my hands being held. I feel my fingers intertwine, generating a warmth just before the point of fire – an ecosystem of expression, acceptance, and unconditional love. Somehow all balanced. I think about who I am and the words “I made it home, Mom” wrap their eternal arms around me. Remember, we are so free to think that we choose bondage.
