Constantly getting the "you need to change" lecture from the many judges of my life (i.e. my parents, grandparents). They often allude my life struggles to being homosexual and I frequently question, "Would life really be THAT much better if I were straight?" I don't get it. I'm not a bad person, I just have shit luck. "It is wrong, it is wrong", but who are you to pound your gavel with your judgmental words? Tbh, my self-confidence and desire for adventure and fearlessness drastically increased when I came out and finally accepted that I was gay. Heterosexuals really cannot relate to the detriment of hiding what feels right, to you, from the world. I love my family and I can't imagine cutting them off bc our views are different, but I honestly dunno how much of this I could take. Especially bc now I am an adult. I mean in the last six months, I have been away from home. I joined the fucking Army. And although sometimes I barely survive the days, I still survive. Any words of advice?
