Because I feared dirt as a child; because sometimes I forget my medication; because I like the things that I like; because I love everything; because I hate everyone; because I'm a drag queen; because I'm a riot grrrl; because I'm a feminist; because I'm in a girl gang; because of my abortion; because I love being bitten; because of my short skirts; because of van gogh; because of birch trees and sea-goats; because peppermint tea calms me; because everything else makes me stressed; because of my crippling anxiety; because my mother loves me but is sometimes racist; because of menstrual blood; because of that time I felt so ugly I tried to scratch my face off; because of slaughterhouses and misogynists; because of childish tendencies; because of Harry Potter; because I don't know anything different.
