Coming Out Story/Quotes

I need to tell you a secret, a secret that I have kept hidden for a long time. [...] I love girls, in the way that I'm supposed to feel about boys. It's just something that has always been inside of me. I want to share with you because I love you so much. I want you to know me, who I really am. When I'm with Brittany, I finally understand what people are talking about when they're talking about love. And I've tried so hard to push this feeling away, to keep it locked up inside, but every day just feels like a war. And I walk around so mad at the world, and I'm really just fighting with myself. I don't wanna fight anymore, I'm just too tired. I have to just be me.
