Today... I went to target (a store where I live) and.. I didn't own anything that shows pride for the LGBTQ+ and since I haven't come out to my family.. or anyone else except for ( three ppl who I barely see now ) .. it makes me feel depressed, sad, scared, and I wished that the five people I live with weren't so against the LGBTQ+ community... and today I went to Target with my family... and the moment I stepped in I saw a huge deep lag of lgbtq+ flags and cloths and buttons and all cute stuff!! (Unicorn horns and and headbands) I almost bursted with happiness because it made feel better and it made feel almost cry happy tears to see other people in the community checking out the cool items and wanting to buy them, even kids! I felt so happy! But... when my mother went to the bathroom.. and it was just me and my sibling.. I saw him glance at the items and tried to lead me somewhere else so I didn't have to look at it.. but he got distracted by something and I took my chance to look quickly at the pride flags!! They were so cute and small!! I wanted to see if there was a Pansexual flag, but I didn't get enough time to cuz we left the area.. and when my sibling went to go to the electronics area and my ,other went to look for cloths I was left alone and said I was just gonna look at some movies.. I quickly made my wave over to the other side of the store (its big) and started browsing the pride section, I was so overwhelmed and so happy! But I was also so anxious and so nervous that my knees were weak and that I could almost barely walk, because I was afraid my family was gonna see me. I was still looking when I found a package of buttons I could not just leave there! I grabbed them and saw that it was one dollar! (I didn't bring any money but found two dollars I had in my pocket! (What luck!) I was so excited and I saw that I could pay it at the self checkout (it was the quickest way too pay for it and not be seen by my family) I was s anxious that I panicked and left the buttons and went to find my brother. We laughed and did some other stuff and I realized soon we were gonna leave and I really wanted someone for my pride so as my family were distracted I said I was gonna look around again do I quickly went and got the buttons again and when I saw a self checkout opened I rushed and tried to pay.. it was a dollar and plus tax which was nine cents. I tried to put in the money cuz I payed cashed but since it had crumples in it, it wouldn't take it.. but this nice woman offered to exchange my money with neat ones and of course I said yes! I quickly was able to get my buttons payed for and I was so happy! I thanked her a million times! I put them in the plastic bag and hid it from my family.. they didn't suspect a thing.. thank goodness ... fucking hell.. I was so scared.. and when I got home I was so happy to finally have something! The buttons are so cute! What I really really really!!! Want is a pansexual flag colored bracelet! I would love that! And a nonbinary one too! And a genderfluid one.. haha! But I'm just so happy now!! And yea... that's my story today.. if you read this... thanks... I was also wondering if y'all want to know how I came to the lgbtq+ community... I could do another story!
