Growing up I always knew I was different than my sisters. They would ask for Barbies, I asked for remote control cars. As the years went by I saw myself attracted to girls and not guys, and I never thought anything bad of it. But I always knew I had to tell my parents, which scared me because I didnt know how they would react. I had my sisters support but I never felt like the time was right to tell my parents about who I really was. My parents found out on their own, and didnt take it well, being that I was the first of the entire family to be gay. Not telling them is one of my biggest regrets and I would do anything to go back and tell them myself. I listened to this song everyday, cried to it, and prayed things would get better between my parents and I. "Just be true to who you are" is such a strong phrase that got me through each day. We had some rough years full of disagreements, but today I am happy to say that I couldnt have any more of a bigger support team behind me. My parents and I have the strongest bond ever and I wouldn't have it any other way.
