🌈 COMING OUT
Coming out later in life can hold many things at once.
Relief. Grief. Desire. Fear. Excitement. Sadness for the parts of you that felt disconnected from yourself.
And sometimes the complexity of deeply loving the life you have lived whilst also recognising something new about who you are.
There are many people who do not realise they are LGBTQIA+ until later in life, which can be an incredibly overwhelming and disorientating thing to experience.
For many LGBTQIA+ people, neurodivergent folk, and trauma survivors, there can be added layers of complexity alongside the conditioning many of us absorb through family systems, education, media, religion, relationships, and wider society.
Learning who you are, allowing yourself to notice what feels true, and finding acceptance in that can take time, courage, and compassion.
