Dear, Wattpad Reader
I never post this kind of stuff online..... That was until two months ago on my twitter. The only person to ever see it is my trans friend and he supports me. So does his family. I hardly tell anyone and I have only told like 6 of my friends. My parent's and siblings don't even know.
I have known since I was 18 and that was just 7 and a half years ago. Now being 24 I face many challenges and will continue to face these challenges and many more for as long as I live. I have struggled with for so long but I am happy to have found a safe gaurded community that helps others deal with these things. Just because your part of the LGBTQ+ community doesn't mean that your alone. There are many others like you dealing with the same exact thing.
I know that some parents won't accept their children for who they are but don't let that stop you from being you. Your perfect just the way are and don't let anyone tell you different. I never thought anyone that I knew would accept me for me but you never know unless you tell someone. Your true friends will accept you for you. Those are the people that care about you more than you may realize.
I want to be able to experience the full aspects of being bi but I am afraid of my parents asking in the future if I'm dating someone and me have to lie that it is a guy because I am afraid of telling them the truth. I fear these kind of things so often I get Stressed which makes me sick if the stress becomes bad. All in all I am 70% like Simon and I try to overcome it but it is never that easy to do. Not many get to say they have it easy. I for one know the feeling.
There was many a time where I sometimes wish that I wasn't bi and that I was straight and other times I'm perfectly fine with who I am and don't mind it at all. I now accept it more than I used to and it makes me true to who I am. I wouldn't change who I am for anything in the whole world for a reason. I am as happy as I can be now that I have learned to accept myself a little bit more.
People always get called bad names. All I know is don't let anything get to you and the words won't hurt you so bad. I have learned from experience that they only say words that are hurtful because they either won't accept they are the same or that they can't accept people coming out and the LBGTQ+ community taking the world by storm. Or because they think its unholy. What's unholy is the way people get treated. Just ignore it all.
Love, April
