So for my last tumblr post, I thought this was appropriate:
So here’s the thing... There was a time in my life when I NEVER thought this would happen.
First I thought I was bad at picking boyfriends...
Then I realized I was gay and I hated myself and who I was. I wished to be straight because it would be easier. The idea of getting married most CERTAINLY seemed so foreign and impossible (it WAS indeed not legal when I came out).
Then I started to come to terms with who I was, but some of my family couldn’t. After some rough relationships and some heartbreaks, I thought there wasn’t the right girl for me out there. I was still not sure if I would ever get here.
Finally, things changed. My family came around. I met Karina. I found someone who made the bad days better and who celebrated with me in my successes. Neither of us is perfect, but we’re perfect together.
So if you’re reading this and are... in the closet, hating who you are, not sure if your family will ever come around, not sure if the right person is out there, not sure if our society will ever catch up....
Things get better. They do. Trust me. And when they do, you’ll wonder why you ever doubted yourself at all. Keep your head up and walk with pride. You’re beautiful.
