After coming out, I thought I would never be able to share the same happiness with my beloved family. I was so lonely. I was desperate, desperate to be accepted and understood. We are no different. I was frightened that I might lose my family. Now I have their blessing. This is the kind of joy I'm going to remember for the rest of my life. I thank myself for having the courage back then which made me who I am today. It has given me more love to cherish, respect, and accept. Love is like a strong ray. While you are glowing, you are also shinning on others.

You will realize the precondition you worried about does not even exist. I felt like I was suddenly reborn. I am faced with a brand new world. The courage I had made who I am today.
