My Life As LGBTQ+: Volume 1

Hey, you're real.

First of all, thiS HAS 1K READS?!??!?¿¡?!!(¡$++%

WTP THANK YOU I DIDN'T THINK PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY READ THIS BOOK SO I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT.

Okay, back to the point of this chapter.

So recently I've been on instagram (Follow my instagram @/ToastedArianna) stalking LGBTQ+ account because I have no life and they have funny text posts. I noticed a lot of them saying things like "(insert sexual/romantic orientation), You are valid. (uncommon gender), You are also valid. You all deserve respect and human decency..." blah blah blah. You know what I'm talking about.

After a while they got kind of annoying, but then I started thinking about it. I know that I am valid and most of the time I don't question if what I am is real or not, but a lot of people in this community do.

So this is just a chapter to reassure you, no matter what your sexual/romantic/gender is, I promise you it is valid because you are feeling it and your feelings are very real. It doesn't matter how old you are, your feelings are very real and very valid.

Even if that identity changes, it doesn't change the fact that at some point in your life you felt that way. It's completely okay if what your sexual/romantic/gender is just a phase. You know what? Life is just a phase, and we grow and change as people all the time. You are never obligated to be the same person you were five minutes ago.
