The highs and lows of coming out

article image placeholderUploaded by @NLOFrank
Hey, beautiful humans. It's me again. I am back to continue my story from yesterday. So yesterday I shared my coming out story or more accurately, stories because I was the greedy and decided that I was going to come out out four times. I actually intended to share with you some of my thoughts and learning from my experiences of actually being out the, the, the, the, the highs and lows of coming feeling a bit more exposed in the world

They can't understand and that's okay

But I felt an overwhelming need to get people to understand, but they're never going to because they're not me. No one's going to understand my individual story because the only person that can do that is me. And once I learnt this and come to terms with this, I have felt so much better, more empowered and calmer in navigating these types of conversations and in navigating how these conversations directly impact me

It's okay to not fit into stereotypes

Most people expect me to be stereotypically what people would call Butch kind of more masculine, and I don't identify in the binary, so identify as masculine or feminine, and people will struggle with that because they don't fit into one box or another. And I like to confuse people. It's just so much fun. So with that, one of the things that took me a long time to realize which I won't go into any details because I did do a whole post the other day

I ma finally learning to live me

I also wanted to share that I over the years have not liked myself at all. I have. I could probably go star zone. I hated myself. I never felt like I've said it in. I have always felt like I was wrong. I wasn't acting enough like a girl, but I wasn't a boy. I was liking things that girls didn't like. School isn't fit in because girls want to do this. Boys want to do this

Learning and growing together is beautiful

Like, I'm with you today, allowing me to see a little tiny glimpse of who they are in order for me to see the world in a different perspective and a different point of view and to learn from each other and to help each other grow
