Any coming out advice? I’m 29 and I still haven’t come out to my family. It feels wild to say that out loud because I’ve stood up to them in so many ways, but in this one, I always revert back to the 14 yo boy growing up in a small village in Colombia hiding behind the couch to read homoromantic novels in secret, or the 8 yo who would create love stories between his toy soldiers. I was always shamed for being too quiet, too feminine, too different from what was expected of boys in my context. So I just learned it was safer to fade into the background than be noticed for being myself. I’d love to hear your stories, or any wisdom you can share. How did you find the courage to do it?
Do you love me even when I fall apart?

Nothing’s wrong when nothing’s true.
And freedom’s never felt this good.
“I am becoming someone my inner child would be proud of.”💫 Saw this in a random art store window and it warmed my heart. Didn’t know I needed to hear it.
No, I’m not sorry for the way that I am. For the way that I love or the heart that I have. For the dreams that I dream or the life that I live— ‘Cause it all belongs to me. — Kali Uchis ☀️
Finished my work early so I’m drawing facial hair like it’s my real job. 🖊️💅
We’ll make the mundane our masterpiece
I see you for who you really are
Late night feelings
Now if you’re looking for a savior, well that’s not me
No quiero nada complicado Nada que me duela, quiero fácil 🍃
And if they ask you say you feel it

We gather stones never knowing what they’ll mean. Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring.
