So this is basically my coming out story. Everyone and ANYONE'S support would mean the world to me so please give my diary a chance! Since I was in middle school I have struggled with my sexuality. I used to try to fight the way I felt and I would tell myself that I'm straight but now I realize that the only way I can be happy is by accepting who I am. My goal with this story is to tell my story of what goes on in my life, from the good and the bad, and help people learn from it. I hope that my story will inspire others who are struggling with their sexuality and hopefully this will help you love yourself the way you are and stand up for what you believe in. EVERY STORY IN HERE IS 100% REAL AND FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCES!! So please help get this story out there! It would mean a lot!:) <3

If you're one of the quiet kids, and you like it that way, then you're not alone. So, what even is an introvert, you ask? Most of you probably heard this word at least once before. My guess is that if you have heard the word introvert, you may have heard it used to describe someone in a negative way. You might know an introvert as someone who is quieter or not as outgoing, but there is a little more to it than that. People often mistake introversion as shyness, social anxiety, or a mental illness, but introversion is actually none of these things. It is simply a personality trait. You can be an introvert and still be a happy, confident person. A lot of well-known people were introverts, like Einstein, Abe Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, and even Lady Gaga (Yes, I said Lady Gaga). This book focuses on what my experiences as an introvert have been so far, and the positives of being an introvert. It also gets into some psychology and mental health. Coming from a shy person, I also hope to talk about how to deal with shyness and build self confidence, even though being shy and introverted aren't exactly the same thing. So come join the party! *Ahem* Sorry. I meant to say, come join the small, quiet gathering.
