Hey khutskhuts, let me speak on behalf of my LGBTQI community, sometimes, it may simply be lack of interest, what one had on the internet/socials not matching the reality, it kills the spark. ๐๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ#BreakAwayWithKhutsoTheledi

Without your experience, good or bad, you are an empty page, a blank notebook, a missing lyric. What makes you brave is your willingness to live through the challenges of your life & hold your head up high the next day. So never live life in fear. Laugh even when you feel too sick or too worn out or tired. Because after all the crap has happened, youโll be stronger than you ever were before it started. #InspirationTuesday
