When I came out I knew I would still be loved. It was more about accepting myself than having others accept me. Now, in the span of almost 6 months, I have come to terms, told my old friends, my immediate family, and even my new friends. It will be scary to be open to everybody, but I know I can do it. I am not the only one, and I most certainly won’t be the last. Stay strong. You can do it.
