For one of my classes this semester, I have to volunteer a few hours per week at a mental health organisation. I was contacting a few different orgs, and one of them responded back saying they had a temporary volunteer opportunity for me over the weekend. It was a dance event for queer youth, and I was asked to help set-up and just help around at the event. So I jumped at the chance, thinking that maybe I could make some connections at the event, pull some strings, and maybe get a permanent volunteer placement with the organisation's mental health clinic. Although they still haven't responded (its been weeks now) it was still a worthwhile experience.
I worked together with these two guys to make the balloon arch and it looked great. I also freaked out disproportionately because of the fact that it looked like the ones in American high school prom movies. I was squealing in my head about it LOL. One of the guys I was working with had visibly deep cuts on his arm which made me so sad to see. So much to say about this topic but I won't delve into it here.
This was the dance floor after we decorated it and set everything up. The theme was fairytale masquerade (I..don't know. Someone told me it was Disney related?) IT WAS SO MAGICAL. Everyone was so fabulous it was cray. I'd throw my rainbow-crusted pie for you, Emma x
