this is a list of any hotlines anyone may need. i know my stories can be quite triggering and i want anyone who is a member of the LGBTQA+ community that who you are is the best person you can be.
i know that's not easy accepting who you are especially when you are still in the closet or just coming out, but you are you and that is all the matters. however long you take to fully accept yourself is completely okay.
if anyone is using slurs against your gender or orientation or anything at all, never listen to them. you are perfect and amazing and you absolutely slay at everything you do.
those bullies are wrong on so many levels.
no matter what people in real life or the voices in your head tell you, you are perfect. whoever you love or whether you want children/sex or whatever gender you truly are, i love you. i love you for you because the person you truly are is the best version of yourself. and no one can take that from you.
i know you're probably scared. i understand why. many people do not understand differences or how people can be unique. or many just don't want to understand. but making you feel terrified to be yourself whether it's being a part of the LGBTQA+ community or whatever race or ethnicity you are or whatever religion you believe in is not okay. people who do that to you are disgusting. they are not worth your time or energy or even your thoughts. they are miniscule. never let them make you feel inferior.
you are precious and it breaks my heart to know how many people in the world are so terrified of being themselves and showing their love for someone because they feel that they will die if they do.
i love you. you're more important than you think.
