Hiding Behind The Shadows Of The "Norm"

in lgbt •  7 years ago  (edited)

In todays society is more open to the LGBTQ community. Even though some road blocks arise ahead of us for equality, but will always be hope for a change.

Growing up as a female was tough, I wasn't very comfortable with myself and a few of my family members could agree I was different. I was always the boyish type of "girl". Never really fit in with any of the girls in school, until one day I was able to fully discover the real me.

I always felt that the real me was always hiding in the shawdows so people could accept me how they wanted me to be. But as I got older I decided I can't just make other people happy all the time. I deserve my own happiness.

Everytime i tried to be how others wanted me to be it was always forced.

Now that I'm able to have the real me step out of the shadows, I feel more free and motivated about everything. Feels like weight was lifted from me to be able to do anything. I appreciate those who in the beginning all the way to through my journey of self discovery are right by my side.
Now for the adventure of a life time, discovering who the real Aiden is.
