Welcome to my Blog! Now that it's Pride Month, I'm going to start writing some of my experiences as a gay person, from childhood to adulthood. For starters, I'm 20 years old, and live in the Philippines. This country is mostly tolerable of gay people, but it still isn't exactly always a fun experience for gay kids living in it. That's why I've only felt so much freedom as an adult, because I really controlled myself around people for so long. I came out to my family at 17, and there's still a bit of acceptance issues going on. (Especially with my father.)

I guess I'm deciding to write about my experiences so I could show to other kids that it's going to be okay. Some of them might be feeling misunderstood. I know I felt that way.

The kind of adult I wanna be is the kind of adult I needed as a kid. If you're gay and feeling misunderstood, please know that you're not alone. I get it.

Happy Pride, everyone!
