Outed

[Sylph]

I Sincerely hope that you can find solace and peace in whichever way you choose to handle your situation;

But even just reading that made me exhausted. I used to feel the same way; and I'm from a very small island, grew up in culture that's as we all know pretty homophobic;

But I got a thick skin pretty early and yes have been verbally and on maybe 3 occasions physically been confronted(that actually resulted in a fight) because I'm gay;

But I don't take shit very well and don't give out fucks either, so at the end of the day my only advice is;

"You be you, as long as they don't touch you, it doesn't matter".

Words are just words. Trust me, I study languages lol, it's the purpose and meanings you give to words, that give them power.

You'll sort it hopefully in your own time, but in the mean time; do realize you aren't alone and that while yes it's tough and none of us bar Virgo lives in TN so don't know exactly what you're going through; you do got an ear or several to listen to ya if ya so need and are willing to hear the resounding advice.

Take care, dear!
