It took me more then 10 years(Me 27) years to do that. I was so afraid. But I had luck, it went well.
With 17 I started to accept what I am, but I was just to afraid. I did come out many years ago to a select group of a few, one of them died, two slowly left my life which really hurt me, and one was left, no one else was left who knew.
But I saw that it eventually just really destroyed my mental health and I thought now or it will kill me.

I just hope that the next generations will not have to have this painful experience, because yet it truly was painful.

That takes a lot of courage to do and it’s something to be proud of.

I hope that in the future it becomes easier for anyone else who is in the same situation. In some places it is, but in others it’s still very close minded.
