through the years of growing up I
realized that I want to live my life to
the fullest and not care about what
people think talking about what matters
to me on social media sort of like the
representation that I’ve always wanted
sometimes it takes your initiative to
help someone to understand who you
really are my name is Jean I identify as
drew it and I use she/her pronouns I am
a singer songwriter slash actor hi I’m
Xena I identify as queer I usually
upload on Stu and I am my student we’ve
been together for one year and yes the
first time that I saw her I was working
at this si cafe as a part-time staff my
boss was speaking out about how there
was so many people and there were not
enough seats and then I told over and I
saw this one girl sitting at this long
bench that was for five people so I took
my boss like I’ll go there and ask that
girl to like go home yeah where did you
meet
I just saw her for the first time she
knew of my existence yeah
I was a regular at that cafe I started
to realize that she was cute
I think I am very lucky to have my
family because they are very accepting
the society thing for is reserved people
tend to be very closeted so then when I
came out to my brother he was really
accepting later on when I came out to my
mom which was a bit more challenging for
me it took a while for her but she never
responded in a way that made me feel
like I was loved I had to come up to my
family it was because I started to
realize that I really really liked her I
had a fight with my parents one and I’m
different I’m gay…
