Taking Up Space

Logan and I meet 2 years ago at a live recording of the podcast "Mortified." We bonded over similar interests such as podcasts, advocating for our planet, and being apart of the queer community.

Most recently we met up at Fort Greene bar in Denver to do a shoot. It had been over a year since we'd last seen one another but it was like reuniting with a long time friend.

Thank you Logan for sharing your story shine bright baby.

Words by Logan Davidson

"In the closet, there was no space for me. I had to make myself small to fit inside - so that I didn't make other people uncomfortable. There was no space, so I held my breath. This is why I couldn't breathe. I could not breathe and there was no space. This is why I didn't eat. When I came out, it got easier to breathe.

But I am here now, and it's still hard to breathe, hard to eat. I realized that I am still making myself small. I took one piece out of the closet and left the rest in there. When I came out, I told the world not to worry. I am still the Logan they had always known - just gay, too. I believed that.

But now I know, this is not true. I don't really know what's still in that closet, so I'm going to put on some makeup, eat until I'm full, sleep until I'm well rested, take the deepest breath I can, and go find out."
