I posted this on my Tumblr but I think this is very important for everyone to read. Love you all! ❤️
Dear anyone dealing with uncertainty of their sexuality,
First of all, congratulations for figuring yourself out just a little more, because life is scary. And knowing which way to turn is just one step closer to getting to the end of your journey. So yay!! *insert rainbow flag emoji*
Second, I want to warn you about some things. You’re going to be scared. Scared of judgement and ridicule, especially if you’re young and still in high school. You’re going to feel different. And that can cause depression, anxiety, and other illnesses. So take care of yourself. Sit down every once in a while and tell yourself ‘I’m not weird, I’m different. And different is ok.’
Next, you’ll feel worried that you’ll lose the people closest to you when you come out, so you’ll choose to put that off. That’s ok. Come out when you are ready. And make sure you really are ready and not just pushing yourself. Tell people that are most important to you. Parents, siblings, best friends. Those are who you want to tell first. Then you can spread to cousins, grandparents, co-workers, etc. But please make sure you are comfortable first, though.
So happy gaying! There is a vast group of culturally proud people just like you! Be happy! Be loving! Don’t let haters get you down!
Love,
Rowena (a recently discovered bisexual)
