Stepping into Heda

Stand tall baby. Don’t back down, stand up for what you believe in. Do what makes you happy. But most of all don’t fight what’s really you. You are not broken, you do not need to be fixed. Don’t let society tell you different being gay isn’t bad. I’m not saying you have to tell everyone I’m just saying be yourself because you’re amazing, this isn’t going to defy who you are. You’re not going to be known as the ‘gay one’, you are creative, sweet, you have a heart so big that you let everyone break, yet you don’t act as if it’s broken. Don’t listen to your father he isn’t a good man. Emotions are not weakness. I know you’re going to start standing up to him soon and it’s going to be scary but stand strong, stand tall. We need to show the younger ones how to stand up for ourselves and for others. We need to be strong for them. It’s a lot to take on and it’s going to hurt later on but for them you’ll do it over and over again because that’s what we do. We protect the ones who can’t protect themselves yet, we protect them the way we wish we were protected. It’s time to take the title Heda now. You may only be 14 but you are strong. You already have been strong for so long. Let’s show how strong you really are. Just know I’m proud of you.
