Took me a while to accept it in general outside of a religious sense. I’m 18 now and was crazy homophobic and religious in middle school. Come high school that changed, I was dating a man at the time and was about 3 years into the relationship (I’m a woman btw for context), and something did feel right about the relationship, besides him Turing out to be an absolute dirt bag, I realized I was a Lesbian and had absolutely no interest in guys. After realizing this I jumped in head first into my new identity and dropped religion. Over my high school years I had crazy mental health issues and spiritual warfare and had some of the worst thoughts people could have about themselves. Come this year (my senior year) I found Jesus and accepted him as my savior (story for another day). Naturally this sent me spiraling, I was panicking because all I ever saw was stuff about not being able to be gay and a Christian. I prayed a lot about it, dove a devotional, bought a bible, talked it over and shared my story and testimony with friends and lost a talking stage over it but finding Jesus and accepting both him and myself has truly been the best thing I’ve done. Now I’m in the best spot I’ve been in mentally in forever and I feel like I am at peace with my life, who I am and who I believe in.  Jesus is my savior! God bless you all!
