Dear tigerzen,
Thank you so much for sending me such an amazing and empowering comment. Ever since I opened up myself on tumblr, I’ve received tons of motivating comments, which made me feel so loved and confident. However, along with those comments came some negativity. I’ve been ignoring the haters so far and tried only to think that I have so many people supporting me, but they continue to send me mean messages and I really want to show the haters out there that I have beautiful supporters like you, and their hate does not discourage me from being myself. Thank you Scarlette, Messages like these give me the courage and the drive to continue being myself when it feels like it is impossible to overcome the standards and prejudice. Like I took the first step, I will continue taking small but meaningful steps forward, and when I get there, I promise you I’ll live happily and courageously and make you proud.
