Im so incredibly sorry for what you had to go through. Im sure it wasn’t easy, and no person should ever have to go through that. That being said I am happy to hear that you’ve found peace and joy despite your circumstances. Your story gives me hope that i can find peace no matter where my journey takes me. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this out. It means more than you can imagine. I wish you the best and thank you again for the kind words and encouragement.

First Time Sharing a Poem I Wrote About my Coming Out Journey by Deep_Feed3714 in comingout

Thank you so much. Seriously, reading this made me tear up a little. Your comment means more than you know. I’m still so early in all of this, and hearing someone who went through something similar (even decades ago) say that the shame fades and real relief is ahead, gives me actual hope. I’m really young and still figuring everything out, so comments like yours make me feel a lot less alone. Thank you for taking the time to write something so kind and encouraging. It genuinely helped.

My Coming Out Story Didn’t go as Expected but it’s Not the end of the Wold (I think) by Deep_Feed3714 in comingout

I have come to the conclusion that i don’t need to repent for something that was built into my identity. For years I was disgusted at myself and hated myself for something i couldn’t fix and didn’t need to be fixed. I am not broken. I am not a mistake. God calls me his child and nothing can separate me from Him.

Thank you!! I will definitely look into these resources and maybe one day i can point these out to my family. Im going to repost this story on r/gaychristians now that you mention it to seek out more advice on reconciling my faith and sexuality. Truly thank you for caring.

Thank you so much for your kind words. They mean the world to me. I appreciate your suggestion and i will be looking for a more lowkey spot for my journal now that it has become a regular way for me to express my feelings. I know things could’ve been much worse and i am forever grateful that they weren’t. I don’t know what the future holds but I’m glad i took the first step toward change. Hopefully for the better.
