A few days ago I came out as non-binary to my mom!💛🤍💜🖤!!!!
For a long time I felt extremely miserable and hopeless. It was quite a weird state of being, I was still alive but I couldn’t function like a normal human.
Now I’m seeing a therapist and I take meds! They really help me to be more me if that makes sense. At some point I thought that taking meds would make me less me, I would somehow loose some kind of quirk or whimsy that I have in me. But it did the opposite!! My whimsy is shining like never before, I am happy and fulfilled, probably for the first time in my life. If before I thought that coming out would make everything horrible, that I would ruin my life by doing it, then when taking meds it made me full of hope and joy. I was still quite nervous about telling my mom I’m non-binary, but at the same time I had this unexplainable feeling of confidence that everything will go well. And it did. It went wonderfully and my mom was thrilled to know something so personal about me, it brought us closer and I even think that she loves me even more because I was honest with her!
Of course, this isn’t the case with everybody. People can be mean and disrespectful, even with their own children. Some people may get kicked out just because they are “wrong” or “weird”. But at the end of the day, the most important thing is that YOU yourself is comfortable and secure with your identity. So, this is my message to y’all queer folks - no matter how much the world hates us - I will always love you. Seek help, if not from your parents or friends - then from a specialist and people online! Live your life and hope for the best, because I know that it’ll get better eventually!!
