fun fact: if you’re only valued when you’re radiant, sensual and sweet but not when you’re sad, frustrated or needing emotional depth then you’re being objectified and this goes to friendship too.
You can be celibate for 2 years, praying to God, and He still won’t answer you.
A prostitute can make that same prayer point, and God will answer her.
God is not your uncle.
Nobody is going to tell you this, so I will. The confidence you so desperately want to exude will only come from your willingness to do it scared, over and over again, until your fear feels like proof that you're refusing to sit in stagnation.
The older you get, the more you realise being openly gay isn’t just about coming out once. It’s about deciding, over and over, who gets access to the real version of you.
You are allowed to experience joy while things in your life are unresolved. If you postpone happiness until everything is perfect, you’ll be postponing it forever.
