My Friends In The Closet

Helping you on your journey.

My Friends In The Closet

Hey y'all today I want to speak to those who may be struggling with their sexuality and their faith. However people who don't struggle with this shouldn't dismiss this article, because this could help you understand what your friend or family member is going through, and who knows you could learn something about accepting yourself.

So, my friends, I know right now that it may feel like you're trapped. Trapped in an endless spiral of hate then throwing yourself into your faith which leads to more hate and self-deprecation. In my journey I found that my main issue was that I equalized my faith and sexuality. These are two things that should never be equals. The devotion to the God I love, serve, and who created me should never be on an equal field with who I'm attached to. Because of this equality, I found myself in a state where I felt like I was constantly fighting and making plans trying to change. Then as I accepted my brokenness, I realized I shouldn't be fighting, I needed to yield to God and his plans. Once I did this I felt such a relief and was able to relax for the first time in a long time.

Each of us walking on our journey and each of us struggle with something. If you're not struggling with your sexuality then you'd be struggling with something else, so realize that you aren't alone in your struggles there is always someone you can talk to.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
