June Drabble Challenge
Write a tale in exactly 100 words. For this challenge, I'll use a thematic prompt, and the winner has to tie in to it somehow. THE PROMPT: write a drabble that somehow, someway connects to Pride Month or coming out. Get creative, just stick to 100 words of prose. I'll post the winner sometime in July.

Unexpected

I came to a Pride event today. Why? Because no one told me I couldn’t. After being in a relationship where every aspect of life was controlled by someone else, that is my reasoning for why I do a lot of things lately – simply because I can. This event challenges my perception of love and acceptance. Today I have seen examples of love without restriction. Perhaps I will explore more than my freedom today. Maybe today is the day I love and let myself be loved in a way I’ve never known, and I just now believe I deserve.
