When I came out it took several tries. First, it started with me, then my friends, then my family. It took years for me to be able to be where I am and be comfortable with myself. It took many, many long talks, tears, and hard, difficult days and nights for me to be my true self with the people I care for. Now I am living my best life and am happier than I ever was, knowing that I truly love myself for myself. (F/31/Lesbian)
