A letter from May 29, 2023

Dear FutureMe, I came out to my best friends 2 months ago, but I am not planning on coming out to anyone else soon! I cry every week, thinking I might not get accepted by my family or have people saying that it is just a fase. For the first time in my ******* life, I am actually… scared… Being in this community is not easy and I always knew that, but I never planned on being one, ok? It all started when I found out my sister was bi. I questioned myself at that time, if I was or would ever be one, but I was just 8, I didn’t want to think about those things, I just wanted to live my life to the fullest. But last year (December 2022) I questioned myself when one of my friends came out to me! I just came out on March 2023. I always wanted to say something about this to you! Right now you are 19 and living your life. I hope you got in the university you planned to go to. Have a great life future me 💞
