“I have nightmares about it sometimes. My family would hate me, and I’m not ready to confront them about it. I don’t know if I ever will be.”

Poem: I’m a Fat Lesbian

Journal Entry: June 9, 2017

“The second I come out it will bring shame onto 100’s of people and I will probably receive judgement and hate from everyone. I would most probably be disowned.”

“I hated myself for being queer and I wished I wasn’t. I felt like a freak and that I was different from everyone.”

“Most of my close friends have no idea, and I don’t know if or when I could ever tell them.”

“I almost attempted suicide because I didn’t see a future for myself.”

“Honestly, sometimes all I want is to be straight where life, love and relationships become way less complicated and where being true to my sexuality doesn’t mean I will lose my entire family.”

“All I want is to know and love who I am.”

“All I want is to know I have a place somewhere.”

Journal Entry: November 20, 2017
