Hi I'm Zola and I am a queer teenager. That's not my real name and I would tell you my real one just in case my parents find this. Before we go any further, ⚠️this is NOT fiction⚠️!!! These are my real thoughts and feeling of what it's like to be in the closet and not want to be. It's real so please treat it has such. Thank you! #111 in storytelling March 14, 2020 #142 in mythoughts April 11, 2020 #160 in inreallife April 20, 2020 #368 in nonfiction March 16, 2020 #865 in lgbtrights #982 in mylife March 22, 2020

Are you gay? Trans? Confused? Lonely? Misunderstood? Me too. Man, what a mood. Ok but in all seriousness, this book is here for you. I am here for you. I promise the world doesn't hate you. There's people that care about you. I CARE ABOUT YOU. I mean it! You should care about you too! Even if you think you have, or have done stupid things before, you should give yourself another chance. Why? Because you deserve it. However you identify, you're valid ASF. ***And even if you're not lgbtq+, you should take everything I said here to heart because you absolutely deserve second chances and to feel loved.

PINOCCHIO tells the tale of forgiveness, friendship, and the desperate longing for acceptance. This is a coming-of-age story many look over. | This book is dedicated to all of the transgender children who wanted the acceptance of a family member but never received it. | |original story line|
