Do you want a safe life that meets expected comformity or do you want an authentic life? If you let your repressed feelings and other people's expectations run your life, then what quality of life will you have? The uniqueness that makes you, you, makes you the only person like you. Don't be someone else. Be yourself. Follow your own path. If others have issues with that then perhaps it is just that, their issues and their fears they are projecting onto you. Believe in yourself and allow God's perfection to radiate from your being. Remember there are NO mistakes in God's creational plans. There are NO errors of race, ethnicity, gender or sexual preference. Any individual who claims there are is an individual who is projecting their own lackages, fears and inadequecies onto you. No one can know God's will. What God creates is created in His image, in His ulitmate knowing and with perfection.
