This is a vulnerable one. But I am ready to share it.
Growing up in my home country, I was the only gay person I knew. For the longest time, I thought something was wrong with me. I felt lonely. Abnormal. Different in a way nobody around me understood.
The pressure of hiding who I was became too much. I avoided family gatherings. I avoided holidays. I avoided anything that forced me to pretend.
So I packed up my life and moved to the farthest country I could. I chose a new beginning.
Through years of healing, I found my way back to myself. And I made the most important decision of my life.
I chose to stop living in guilt and shame.
I chose to accept myself.
I chose me.
This might not feel like a big deal here in the US. But in my home country it is still a taboo. And there are still people out there feeling exactly the way I felt. Lonely. Like something is wrong with them.
Nothing is wrong with you. Nothing was ever wrong with me.
You are not alone. You are seen. And you are safe here.
