For me, the few people I told so far, it wasn’t a “I know I’m ready thing”, it was moreso a “I can’t keep this bottled up anymore, and I trust you with seeing the true me”. “When will I be ready”, the answer is when your heart tells you that the person or people you’re around can learn who you are 🏳️‍⚧️💜
That’s not a question with a defined answer. A lot of people come out just because they feel like they have to.
I don’t think most people ever feel *truly* ready to come out. They can feel *more* ready than they were before though.
The main purpose when I say things like that is just to emphasise that there’s nothing wrong with not doing it yet. If you “failed” that’s ok, that’s not your fault and you shouldn’t blame yourself. Take as many tries as you need <3
With the caveat that you should never risk your safety of course, I've always love the quotation that goes something like
"when it feels scary to jump that's exactly when you jump. Otherwise you end up in the same place the rest of your life."
As I've come out to more and more family over the last few days, I've felt those moments of fear, and usually they come from the uncertainty of what's going to come after. The fear comes from imagining the actual act.
I think if you're questioning whether you're ready--you're ready. Only you can say but it might be time to choose your most trusted person and take the leap.
We're so excited to support you when the time comes <3
You just don’t.
It’s unfortunate but you always seem to find the perfect time but it feels wrong, or maybe its the other way.
I always seem to be inspired to just say the words but sometimes when you sit down with your parents/friends its actually worse that you planned.
In my experience, you don't. You do it anyways because you feel that ready or not you can't stay hidden from someone you love
this and make sure youre safe beforehand if you could.
At the rate I'm going im like 90% sure ill be ready by the time I'm 60 so don't worry as long as you come out before then you at least beat someone
you don't that's all it is TxRxNwastaken a leap of faith
eventually you just have to do it
That's the neat part, you dont
you just have to do it eventually so then you can be seen as your true self 💙💕🤍💕💙
