This post will be long, & maybe no one will read it, but it deserves to be out there. Not surprisingly, I have some thoughts about Wynonna Earp & my life.

I came late to Earping (this year,) & late to my queerness (in my 50’s & still in the early days of my journey). (1/11)
(2/11) I’ve worried I was too late for both & wouldn’t fit in with either. I’m realizing those are self imposed limitations & not the reality.

I’ve journaled more in the time I’ve been Earping than ever before, and credit this show with helping me to explore my fears,
(3/11) grief and loss, and the vast, complex tapestry of love. I’ve found clarity in some areas & explored others that were previously “off limits” to me. In the end, I think Wynonna Earp may have found me just when I needed it.
(4/11) I have so many takeaways from this show - things I will forever carry with me, & for which I am so very grateful.

Nicole is my model for confidence & certainty. Believe in yourself & what you want, & move forward into achieving that - be it love, career, friendship, etc.
(5/11) Carry yourself tall and proud, never make yourself small. And believe in the love you have to give and that which you receive.

Waverly is grace and compassion. Go into the world as a shining light and create a safe space for yourself and others.
(6/11) Your light can be a beacon to those who need to be found by you and who will enrich your life.

John Henry Holliday reminds me to look forward in life. To believe that there’s still living to be done and love to be shared. That no matter what your life has been,
(7/11) it can be so much more.

And Wynonna. Wynonna reminds me to love myself & believe in my self worth. To be forgiving of my perceived crimes of the past & recognize that I am worthy & deserving of love. And that there are many who want to (and already do,) love me.
(8/11) None of these reminders would be here without the creator. Emily has opened my eyes, my heart and my mind. I have new words that make up my vocabulary - things aren’t great, they’re top shelf.

But one that may stick with me the most is one that’s always been there,
(9/11) but been ignored - extraordinary. I believe my life can be more than ordinary. I believe there is extraordinary love out there for me. I believe that the most meaningful friendships are beyond ordinary. And that home is an extraordinary place where everyone is welcome.
(10/11) So at the end of the day, I didn’t arrive too late to the homestead. I was welcomed as I am and embraced. I don’t know where my journey will take me from here, but I believe the homestead will always be a part of my foundation.
(11/11) I’m a better person for having found Wynonna Earp. My life is so much richer and ever changed.

As the cowboy says, this isn’t good bye, it’s thank you. But now seemed like a good time to say it.
