🌈 Today's coming out day! ️‍🌈 A time to share our stories about a huge millestone in a life.

Younger I never felt the need to come out. I'm 46 and my generation never thought we'd have the same rights as straight people in a straight world, like mariage equality and more. From a poor lost city in the middle of nowhere in France, I didn't know it was actually a thing to do, come out. I dated girls just to clearly learn I prefered boys. I didn't tell anyone. Before graduating, I had a very best friend, Magali and I didn't tell her. I was so into not letting people around know what was my personal life, my preferences, I let people behind. Always moving forward, when moving to new cities, new lifes, new people. I had a sad and lonely life at some points. Much better than many people, though.
This girl finally reached me some years ago thanks to social networks. We met again and I grew up a lot, nothing to hide. I realized how wrong I was to not come out when younger.
She's like the best support I ever got, far beyond any family member. She is the sister I never had, she is my real family. I love her so much and this girl is gonna be my witness at my wedding.
So, do not hesitate to listen to your heart and your feelings, never leave your closest people in the dark, or worse, behind. People who love you will still love you, even more as you just are yourself: beautiful, loving and caring. ❤
