I have a pride necklace that I've been wearing under my shirt for several months, as a reminder to myself that I can be proud of what I am, and that I shouldn't stay hidden forever. Yesterday I started wearing it openly. I've decided that if anyone sees it and asks, I will tell them what I am (or at least, what I think I am, I admit that I'm still a little confused, but I feel I can't really figure it out if I'm not completely above board with it). I won't pretend I'm not nervous about what might happen come the start of university classes on Monday, but so far nobody in my dorm building seems to really be treating me any differently. I guess my only real concern is that I met most of my friends here in college through religious activity, and I have no idea how any of them will react.
