Anyway, I’ve been thinking about why I haven’t come out yet. Maybe it’s because it doesn’t seem fair that only gay people have to come out. Why is straight the default? Or maybe it’s because I can’t be sure this whole “being gay” thing is forever. Or maybe it’s that there’s not that much of high school left and part of me wants to hold on to who I’ve always been just a little longer. And then, when I go to college in Los Angeles, I’ll be gay and proud, I promise.

I was genuinely quite nervous to upload this picture despite being massively eager to take my clothes off on the day haha.

Growing up I never felt confident in my body, especially when I didn’t take care of it during the worst of my OCD. Despite Rosie being so encouraging, it’s not always easy to see what other people see in yourself. Sometimes it has to come from you. I finally feel like I’m in a place where I can say, I am what I am and I’m proud of that person. I have flaws, I have scars. But life is about the way you treat people. Your actions and your words. That’s what we should be judged on, our will to be kind, patient and compassionate. Being beautiful on the inside truly shines through, as there’s nothing more beautiful than a kind heart.
