Hey there, diary. Today I want to talk about something that's been on my mind a lot lately - being a lesbian.
I remember the first time I realized I was attracted to women. It was like a light bulb went off in my head, and suddenly everything made sense. But accepting this part of myself wasn't easy. Growing up in Remnant, where traditional values are deeply ingrained, being anything other than straight felt like swimming against the current.
I struggled with it for a long time, trying to suppress these feelings and convince myself that they were wrong. But no matter how hard I tried to deny it, deep down I knew who I was attracted to.
It wasn't until later when I joined Beacon Academy as a huntress-in-training that things started falling into place for me. Surrounded by strong and diverse individuals who embraced who they were without apology, it slowly became easier for me to do the same.
My teammates played a huge role in helping me come to terms with my sexuality. They never judged or questioned me; instead, they supported me unconditionally and showed me what true acceptance looked like.
Being open about being lesbian has brought its own set of challenges too - dealing with ignorant remarks or facing discrimination from those who don't understand or accept different sexual orientations is never easy. But despite all of that, knowing who you are and staying true to yourself is worth more than any judgment thrown your way.
At times when doubts creep into my mind about whether society will ever fully accept people like us without prejudice or discrimination...I remind myself of the love and support from those closest around us—those relationships make every struggle worthwhile because even if society doesn’t change soon enough at least we have each other’s backs through thick & thin!
So here's hoping for brighter days ahead where love knows no bounds!
