What does it mean to \u201ccome out of the closet\u201d?
\nComing out is about being ready, able, and unafraid.
\nTo be who you truly are.
\nWho you have always been. <\/p>\n
To tell people, \u201cThis is me.\u201d
\n\u201cTake it or leave it.\u201d
\nHoping those you love will accept you.
\nKnowing that not all will.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s about being tired.
\nTired of being something you are not.
\nTired of hiding who you are.<\/p>\n
Not everyone\u2019s \u201ccloset\u201d is the same.
\nNor is the experience of exiting said closet.<\/p>\n
Closets come in different shapes and sizes.
\nHave different contents.
\nSome feel safer than others.
\nMost are dark and lonely.<\/p>\n
Some closets are known.
\nOthers unknown.
\nOr rather denied their existence.<\/p>\n
Be who you are.
\nCome out and be with your people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
