I DID IT

I 24M after years of repressing who I was, finally started to accept myself 2-3 years ago but yesterday I came out to the first person ever who is my friend, she was very supportive and so chill about it, it’s a weird feeling because i’m starting to finally start living my life authentically but it’s juxtaposed with fear because my sexuality is out there now and eventually I will need to come out to my other friends and family which is terrifying because i come from a deeply homophobic, conservative muslim background so i’ve got a long road ahead of me but yh i finally took the first steps to living my truth!
