geminigirlThis weekend is DC Pride.
Now, normally, I love Pride...the energy in the air, the beautiful eyecandy...the weather, the whole thing. It's full of spirit and it's fun.
And normally, I love to go, to be there, to spend time out-I've marched in so many Pride parades....had a good time, and just generally had great opportunities to be out.
This year, I'm feeling weird about it...obligated to go instead of desiring to go. Now it is in part an obligation; I'm going with work...marching with work, staffing work's table at the Festival tomorrow and so on. But even when that's been the case before, I haven't felt the sense of obligation to be there...the overwhelming donwannas that I'm feeling now.
Am I outgrowing Pride? I hope not...there's something special about it, and I know that. But what's wrong with me?
