I Am a Teenage Lesbian

I’ve been sitting comfortably in the closet for a very long time now and while it’s been relatively fine I don’t think I realized how much a needed a safe outlet until now. I’ve always had the internet and that’s been incredibly helpful but yesterday my friend invited me to a sort of LGBT+ youth group called out and about and it was absolutely amazing! I feel like I finally let go of the breath I’ve been holding for years. It wasn’t even anything crazy it was just a normal movie night but something about being in a room surrounded by people just like me in a space where we could all just be ourselves and talk about what it’s like and all just be together. I don’t know I can’t really describe it but knowing there’s a whole group of people there to support you is nice. Knowing that for even just one day a week you can shine a light on a part of you that’s usually in shadow. If any of you can I highly encourage you to do the same! You won’t have to out yourself they always do a good job of being inconspicuous, mines just at a church so I tell my parents it’s a youth group. It’s always worth a look and it helps so much
