today is a very special day for me. it’s taken a while for me to get here & i feel like i’m finally ready :) my whole life, i’ve felt like there was something different in me. i wasn’t quite sure what it was & was always confused. I had always had school crushes on girls & been attracted to them. fixed my hair every morning before school to impress my crush. but while growing up, i started to feel similar feelings for boys. i’d feel butterflies & become obsessed with a boy character in a movie. i’d convince myself that it was just cause i thought they were cool, that i wanted to be like them, or that i wanted to be friends with them. honestly, i knew the truth inside & was just afraid of it. it was a constant battle within myself. growing up a boy dancer, i had been called “gay” at school & had been aware of what people would think of me. i watched every word i said. every movement i made. it was exhausting. i prayed to god every night to be fixed since age 12. for him to take these thoughts away from me & to make me better. fast forward 7 years & god still hasn’t changed me. i thought to myself “if i’ve prayed to be fixed every night since i was 12 & i’m still the same, then god created me exactly how he intended.” these last few years, i’ve finally accepted myself & have never been happier. i feel so inspired by the LGBTQ+ community & am so excited to be apart of it. my friends & family truly know me without me hiding anything :) they’ve been so supportive & i’m so thankful for them. honestly, i’m not a big fan of labels. labels are so that others can put u into a box that makes sense to them. but we’re human. we’re constantly changing & learning. at the same time, i’ve been blessed with this platform & an opportunity to change lives. so if me coming out online & sharing my story helps even one person, i wanna do it :) i don’t want anyone to have to grow up second guessing, feeling alone, or being afraid of themselves. it effects your self health, relationships, mental health, families, friends, & much more. i’m done holding it in & am so proud & happy to be who i am. happy pride month! love you all so much & thank u reading ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 bi ;) 👋🏼
