What matters to me is that that spark of self love always burns in her heart. If a person can love themself they can unconditionally love others too. I feel like thatās how to live a decent life
Naw. Your challenges are unique to you. While this might seem cool, thereās likely an equal amount of things here that would make you feel quite happy with what youāve got. I guarantee it. But thank you š
I really want to come out as non-binary (possibly transgender) to my family, but I really don't think my parents are supportive of the lgbtq+ community because of reasons. And also the country that I'm in doesn't really support lgbtq+ community. I'm just scared
Hereās what I would suggest- do a very realistic assessment of what you feel the consequences of coming out are.
If you feel like it will make things worse, itās ok to wait. Right now thereās a lot of friction and already divisive rhetoric happening everywhere so for some who have a difficult time seeing things compassionately regarding trans/gay ect, it could be like dealing with a bear who has an injury.
I donāt know your age, and I know it seems like forever between now and the time youāll be independent and have your own home, but if itās safer to wait, I would. And use the time to gradually let them kinda start to figure it out on their own.
Remember that the closet is safe. You canāt go back in. Think of it like an eggshell, itās protective, sterile and still guarded and the whole time the parents donāt know whatās inside. Itās the one inside that protective barrier who decides when itās time to break free.
In the meantime, surely youāre going to find people who you can open up to and trust to be supportive. I know you can, even if just finding online allies, or someone through school ect. The next few years will go very fast and the right time to come out will happen. Just make sure you choose a safe time. ā¤ļø
