◁ HATE ON A PERSON/SHIP = BLOCK ▷
This video is very important to me and I've never actually really spoke up about it with you guys because I simply didn't quite feel ready to share this with the world.
But now I am.
Today I went to my very first Pride festival, and although there were lots of difficulties while planning this, I managed to go.
(I'm writing this the 8th of August, so I have no idea how it went, but I hope it was fun!)
[Edit (11.08.2019): It was AMAZING! I saw so many flags everywhere, the music was great, my sister did my make-up (I felt so pretty) and I was surrounded by such sweet friends. Although I was nervous af, I'm so glad I went.]
It's never exactly been easy, I'm not going to lie about this or make it prettier than it is and has been. I stuffed my romantic orientation away as far as I honestly could, and through this proces I faced lots of insecurity and disturbing comments.
I wasn't homophobic towards any couples that I saw through social media or on the streets.
I was homophobic towards myself.
The thought of actually liking the same gender freaked me out and the most logical response in my head was to shove those feelings away and pretend they never were there in the first place.
But then I came across people.
Inspiring people.
Jessie Paege, Joshua Rush, Matthew Schueller, Keara Graves, Sarah Amann, Rachel Benson, Zendaya... all helped me make me feel better in my skin and to learn to accept myself.
My friends and family have been so supportive as well and I couldn't be more thankful. They were the small circle who knew about me, now I want to share it with you all because you've been with me for almost 3 full years, that's insane!
So today, the 10th of August, I officially announce that I, Fieke, am attracted to girls.
It might still be hard, I might not be okay, but I will be, and so will you.
Love yourself. ♡
