Always authentic

I come from a small, close minded town and when I was 21 I came out. I didn’t think twice about it or that this was a big deal until many years later a lot of people started saying how they respected me for always being true to who I was and being who I am- no apologies. To this day I love who I want and am who I am no matter what people think or say about it. I’m proud I’m raising my son to live his life the exact same way
