Don’t Change Me. “Love Me” by Javier Perez
Don’t Change Me.”Love Me”. The love and support we receive from those important to us gives us the strength we need when faced with fear and uncertainty. As a gay child growing up in an environment laced with homophobia, searching for that inner strength was a daily preoccupation. Machismo, Catholicism, knowing glances, the ever present bully; all spark fear and the desperate desire for protection and love. We are all vessels, taking in what the world offers. T hese pieces portray the desire and strength of the spirit to overcome fear. Only then are we open to the love and support that nourishes our souls.
Thank you ,
Javier
