I remember the awkward moment when I came out to my mom during another potential introduction to another female friend. Mustering up courage, I blurted out, “Mom, I’m gay.” Her response? “Well, that’s certainly a unique choice.” I could practically hear the crickets chirping in the background, briefly.
Growing up closeted, embracing diversity was a challenge. I felt isolated and alone, struggling to reconcile my true self with societal expectations.
Coming out was a daunting step, but finding acceptance within the LGBTQ+ community and eventually within my family was incredibly rewarding. It was a long journey, It remains a never-ending one. One slip can terminate all that LGBT freedom that was fought for.

PTSD Battle: The Hidden World of South Africa
A hidden world of echoes and shadow-cages. Iinner struggles, a constant presence. Robberies, gunshots, a terrifying daily rhythm with political beats pulsing drumbeats of war.
Nightmares rise from ashes. Security efforts are often futile. Anger fills the streets. A chilling call thunders, igniting fear.
Children stare, wide-eyed, confused. Weapons fill the house. A single shot mobilizes fear, as anger surge across this beautiful land.
