Default Coming Out Testimony

Hello there. If you ever find any of my posts, you will find out that right now I'm completely closeted, and not 100% comfortable with myself. However, since I've received so many support from EC, I wanted to share this video I found on youtube that I found heart moving. I wanted to post this in the coming out section because hopefully it will help younger members feel less depressed, and hopefully it will inspire other members to come out of the closet.

+ YouTube Video

Are you in college? I thought it would get better for you once you get older? no?

I finished college last semester. But now I have to worry about getting my master's degree. It gets better as you get older, specially because people at college are more mature and open minded. I mean, if I was still in high school just going to an LGBT support website would have been unthinkable for me.

Why did it make you feel sad? I got teary eyes, but it was because they made me feel hope.

In all honesty, I was a little jealous of them. But they have every right to be happy. Something like that will happen to all of us, I'm sure. Thanks for sharing.
