― Nguyen Xuan Bach
Let your true self show. Don’t let other people prevent you from doing anything. Hiding yourself never did anyone any good. It can cause you to become something you don’t want to be. This started to happen to me at the beginning of summer of 2012. I was hiding a huge part of me which made me start to become rude, snippy, and quiet. I didn’t talk to many people because I was always thinking. Thinking about everything, thinking about what I should do and when I should do it. I was afraid of what people would say and react to what I had to say. Then on October 11th, 2012, National coming out day, I decided I didn’t care what people thought or what people said. I was tired of being someone I wasn’t. I spent all night typing a letter to my friends and family to tell them I was gay. I was nervous but I had to do it. Turns out I had nothing to worry about. Everyone said they stilled loved me and told me I was brave to tell them. I had spent my life up until being someone I wasn’t. I hated it, which is why I want to help people. I don’t want people to feel like I’ve felt. So I am here to tell all of you to be you! Be who you want to be and do what you want to. It makes life a lot more fun. It has made my life a lot better. I live life to the fullest and no I’m not always happy, I do have my off days, but I don’t let them define me. I don’t let anything define me. Throughout this experience and life I have learned that, “those who matter don’t mind, and those who mind don’t matter.” Keep your friends and family close to you, don’t let them slip away. If you ever feel like you need to talk to someone about anything email me at, justmeandcreativity@gmail.com. I am here to help you and in turn you will be helping me. :)
