Coming out

To come out, as your true authentic expression in the world, is more challenging than I could imagine.
It feels like, the ideas within my head, of what is expected, are so stiff and creating a whole self that isn't ME.
I posted a picture in my social media. A picture where I'm feeling the shift in me. I know I am shifting, I experience it. And I get the comments of my previous support system of friends and elders. And I feel trapped again there. As if they're perpetuating the past.

It's so hard to let loose, especially of those. I can understand they come from a place of compassion.
But I don't want compassion anymore, I don't want to be supported anymore, I want to be loved and this means, to be heard, and this requires from me, to finally become able to speak.

I want to come out in my fullness, in all of my craziness and authenticity, I've been shrinking, people pleasing and silent for so long.
