Color Splash: National Coming Out Day
This is for the ones who are looking for themselves, those who need the support and those who really need just a word of advice. The Community here in the lovely Upstate New York region is providing some words of wisdom, to people of the world! I'm hoping this reaches so many people, and I'm hoping this helps as many as it reaches. Happy National Coming Out Day!

"There is nothing more empowering than being proud of who you are!"
"In general people suck. They'll find something to say about you whether or not you're out. So give them something to talk about; be true to yourself and be unconditionally you"
"Living the life you want to live is the most difficult thing you'll ever have
to do. If coming out is a part of that, there's no way it can be a bad
thing, no matter what happens after. Take your wins, cut your losses.
You deserve absolute happiness... never stop working toward that."
"Haters gunna hate. A perk of coming out- no one can ever use your sexuality as a weapon or insult again"
"Just be who you are. Making it a big deal just lets others make it even bigger."
