The name is Natalie-- But you can call me Nat or Wolfie. This is my Journal. Some of this will be random thoughts and stories, some of it will be stuff that I find inspiring, interesting, and any other category that I can't think of, and some of it will just be cool stuff.
I think you guys are just pretty awesome-- And I am glad this group exists. So... Let's party! And comment if you want. I like talking to people.

So I've decided to post my first reply ON THIS JOURNAL'S SECOND DAY OF LIFE! WHEWT! I'm on A ROLL!
So anyway, this will be a bit of a serious post. I have recently been thinking about the serious discrimination to those in the LGBT community. We "supposedly" have rights-- But do we really? People are expelled from school because of being homosexual.-- From all across the board, religions that deem "homosexuality" a sin have thrown out countless of people for loving others from the same sex. People are being oppressed, emotionally destroyed, and just all out harmed. We should be united as a humanity, not divided into sections. But we are, truly.
So why is this on my mind right now? Because I just recently had a very long and exhausting argument with a certain individual who deemed me simply "disgusting". And I'm tired of it. Conversations make me feel... Down. Down and angry. And I'm done. But----
There is this person named Ryan James Yezak-- Someone I truly look up to and respect. He is trying to change the world, one step at a time. Heh-- He makes me smile, he makes me laugh-- And really... He did give me hope. Perhaps enough hope to one day tell my own parents about who I really am-- To tell my friends that hey... This is me. I'm bisexual. And I am proud to be who I am. To tell my extremely religious grandfather that... Hey! I have actually at one point in time fallen in love with a girl. And for that period of time-- I was truly with happy with her. So love me or disown me, but know that this is me.
So I've been following Ryan's YouTube for a while now, and here's something that caught my eye. "I Want to Know What It's Like." This video has displayed many of the things I have wished to know what it's like. To be free. To be equal. To live in a world without hate. So I've decided to share it with you. If it doesn't work on Gaia, and you do want to view it, please copy and paste the link into URL websearch bar. Yeah-- That's what it's called... Maybe.
Stand on the side of love my friends! Know that you are never alone.
