Blog #168: Queer Eye

Okay so... I don't consider myself an emotional person. I don't cry a lot, I don't usually get worked up in frustrating/angering situations, and, well, it just takes a lot to get me "in my feels."

That said... screw Queer Eye. I can hardly watch one freaking episode without crying.

I'm telling you, Antoni sheds one tear, and I just lose it. JVN gets real about his life, and I can't cope. Tan gets emotional... I'm sobbing. I don't know why, but I just. can't. handle. it.

I think that for me maybe the show is an escape from my reality in which I am constantly immersed in the news and peoples' struggles and the hate that is so pervasive so often. When I sit down to watch Queer Eye, I get to forget about this for 40 minutes, and instead watch someone transform themselves for the better, with the love and support of five beautiful people around them. It just... gets me in my feels.

Also today after work I was seriously just living my bestttt life. I went for an amazing run, came back and made the most freaking delicious vegan tacos, poured myself a tall glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and sat myself down to eat/drink/cry over Queer Eye. Sounds like a perfect night to me.
