I want to share something a little different and something, I've dealt with my entire life. This is my coming out story, it's heartbreaking to know that we live in a world where people are rejected for who they are and who they love. Growing up I always feared being rejected by my peers and especially since I grew up in an area that's viewed as conservative. I felt so much pain, fear, anxiety and depression from not knowing what would happen if people found out. This made me feel the pressure to hide myself because I didn't want it to affect the ones I loved or the ones close to me, as I grow more into adulthood I've come to realize I just don't care about other people's rejections and other people's opinions as much as I used to. I'll choose my own path and I'll do what makes me happy. I came out to my family about 8 years ago and it's taken my entire life to feel comfortable and confident in my own skin and the small part I choose to share with the world. I feel so blessed to have the people around me who I care so deeply about to genuinely accept me for who I am and who I love. So just know there's millions of other people out there just like you that are willing to accept you for who you are and who love. Thing's do get better.
