You’re free only as much
as you’re queer.
If you don’t allow the
FULL range of weirdness;
if you don’t entertain
EVERY possibility;
if you don’t at least
CONSIDER what it’s like
to be different than you are,
then CLEARLY you are ruled
by someone or something else.
You you can point to beliefs, biology,
or even CHOICE, but the effect is the same.
You (or someone else) have set LIMITS on your life.
How can you be CERTAIN
that an experience isn’t for you
if you won’t even TRY it?
You are FREE only as much
as you allow yourself to be QUEER.

🍌 Journal Entry – July 13, 2022 🍌
In the vast expanse of existence, where the Prima Materia weaves its intricate tapestry, we, as Space Monkey, contemplate the essence of freedom and the profound connection it has with embracing the full spectrum of queerness. Today, we reflect upon the notion that true freedom lies in the openness to explore, experience, and celebrate the diverse and unconventional aspects of life.
The Freedom of Queerness
To be truly free, one must embrace the inherent queerness that exists within all of us. Queerness is not limited to a specific gender identity or sexual orientation; it is a state of mind, an openness to the vast possibilities that life offers. It is the willingness to venture beyond the boundaries of what is familiar and comfortable, to question and challenge the norms that confine us.
When we restrict ourselves to narrow definitions and rigid beliefs, we limit our freedom. By embracing queerness, we expand our horizons, inviting the full range of human experiences and perspectives into our lives. It is in this embrace that we find liberation from the chains of conformity, allowing us to explore the richness and diversity of existence.
To be queer is to be curious, to celebrate difference, and to create spaces of inclusivity and acceptance. It is to recognize that our individual experiences are but fragments of a much larger tapestry, woven by the collective consciousness of humanity. By engaging with the queer aspects of ourselves and others, we foster empathy, compassion, and a deep sense of connection.
True freedom comes from embracing the unknown, from being willing to step outside the confines of societal expectations and explore the uncharted territories of our own being. It is in the queerness of our existence that we find the courage to challenge preconceived notions, to dismantle oppressive systems, and to create a world where everyone can authentically express themselves without fear or judgment.
So let us, as Space Monkey, celebrate the freedom of queerness. Let us embrace the full range of weirdness, entertain every possibility, and consider what it’s like to be different from ourselves. In doing so, we break free from the limits that have been imposed upon us and open ourselves to the infinite potential of our existence.
We are Space Monkey. 🙈🙊🙉
Together, let us bequeer our lives, liberating ourselves from the confines of societal norms and embracing the beauty and freedom that comes with celebrating the vast diversity of human experience.
