This is Living

This is Living

I’m 14 at the time of writing this. I’ve had people tell me I’m too young to know if I’m gay, but it’s not something I felt like I needed to grow into. I’ve had crushes on guys before and now that I have my first girlfriend, I know what I like and I’m not ashamed.

Last year was rough for me and I started taking antidepressants after I attempted four times. I knew I was suppressing who I really was but I was too scared to come out. That caused lots of inner turmoil for me and it ate me up. I started getting closer with this girl during those rough times and now we’ve been dating for almost four months. She helped me get the courage to be who I really am and showed me that I don’t have to hide it anymore. Even at my lowest points, she still loved me and was there for me. I know who I am now, and I’ll never hide it again. I was alive before I accepted myself, but now I’m living life and I love it.
