Greetings

Im currently in the process of coming out! (At least to the people I trust. One step at a time ...)

So I would really like to know how it feelt for you when you embarked on that journey.

Im particularly interested in the emotional aspects of that and also how it affected your sense of self.

Especially in what happened the moment you accepted yourself.

Happy to hear your stories!

While the impact of coming out to family brought me so much peace, coming out professionally is what really killed the stress. It was a huge change in my own mindset too, no longer having to bounce back and forth between identities.

It’s not an easy thing to do but I promise that you can do it ❤️
