“... Most importantly, find a community to support this new version of yourself. Surround yourself with positive role models who will accept you unconditionally. I haven’t always been this open and loving person, for years my heart was closed due to trauma and severe mistrust of people. Thanks to those who chose to unconditionally love me despite my projected pain, I eventually learned to love myself and share this love with others. Your passions are a gift to this planet, do whatever it takes to discover them and spread the love with those who need it, including yourself!”
