~Hai everyone! This is part 8 to @_Shattered_Soul_'s Same Love MAP.~ This is way simpler that my other part, but it still has meaning. (I PROMISE part 9 is/will be way better!! Don't hate me plz!) >~<* ~I choose this part because I relate to it, and I feel that many people had/have fallen into a similar situation that I did.~ ~When I first came out online in one of my projects, I was extremely nervous as to the reactions I would get. I had been questioning my sexuality for a while, but I had been to scared to tell anyone about it. I kept quiet. Nobody had to know.~ ~I got pretty positive reactions from my project, and I had begun to notice that some of my favorite scratchers were actually big supporters of the lgbtq+ community and I received support from them which made me feel amazing.~ ~See this made me feel like there was a chance other people would accept me, but I still kept quiet at first. I was still to scared and saying the words out loud sounded funny and out of place, almost as though it wasn't my voice.~ ~I tried to change the way I though. I tried to put myself into the mold everyone said I should be. I was scared to love the way I did. I was still scared to be myself.~ ~Even though I had tried to change, I couldn't I still fell for other girls. (I did have *a* guy crush at the time, but not near as strong... it was more of an "I like you, but that's it" kinda thing) I finally came out to the first person (irl) and he hugged me. He told me I was amazing and shouldn't have to change for others.~ ~I felt so confident after that, I felt like part of this burden I'd carried around was gone, and I felt free. I stopped wanting to be someone else. I was bi and I was glad to be. I didn't need to be straight in my sexuality-I needed to be myself.~ ~Thank you all! SilverStarFox out!~
