Things to Remember Before Entering College

Fourth

Here's a message for everyone:
Don't let conformity and criticisms hinder your freedom.

This is actually one of the most unheard stories. Even if gender freedom is known and practiced nowadays, there would still be people struggling in opening up. But, I should tell you, if you ever feel like you're among the colors, so be it!

No one would really stop you from being yourself. No matter what you prefer, no matter how you want your clothes matched, and no matter who you love, for as long as you are you without stepping on other people, go! You're as free as anyone can be!

To be honest, this is still a hard topic to open to society, since they conform on how biological males and biological females should be acting. On the contrary, I see nothing wrong on expressing oneself even in a different way.

In fact, there are people who are excelling on their respective fields yet they belong to the LGBT+ community. They prove themselves in their own way, but still some of them are unaccepted by crooked minds. Sadly, this results to people still hiding their true selves wherein they should not.

This, though is a serious tone. But let me leave a question:

Would a butterfly be itself without the help of its cocoon?

Clearly, a butterfly needs its time to grow inside its shelf in order to fly gracefully. And this is also the same for those who are still hesitant in coming out. You don't have to rush, you don't have to pressure yourself in coming out. We all have our own timing, and no person should adjust yours.

Would a butterfly survive inside his cocoon forever?

Basically, the cocoon serves as its protection as he grows. And there would come a time that he needs to go, for he doesn't fit anymore. He doesn't have the nutrition anymore.

This, surprisingly, is another fact for humans. We can't live in the closet forever, we cannot hide the thing that must be shown in the first place. We won't get the right environment if we would crumble in the corner.

Because, at the end of each day, it's you who controls the things you would do with the time God gives you. Why waste it in hiding and denying your true self when you can actually spread your wings and show the world your true identity? You are you for a reason, so see to it that you act and show off as yourself.

Let your colors be known, because nothing's better than an authentic masterpiece. ❤️
