'My found family is my real family.'
anymore, but two of the people in that group are still my close friends and I consider them my sisters . Even though only two of those people managed to stick around into adulthood, telling my group of high school friends helped me accept the truth about myself and made me feel like I had the freedom to do and say whatever I wanted. I didn't need to hide who I was, because if people didn't like a trait about me, I didn't need them in my life anyway.
Being able to embrace the truth about myself in an environment where I wasn't judged or told I was wrong made all the difference. It's part of the reason why I've chosen to call my closest friends my sisters and my brothers rather than worry about what my blood family may say or think of me. Because I was able to share my true self with so many people, I found my two roommates, both of whom are more like family than most of my actual relatives ever could be.
If there's one thing my coming out journey has taught me, it's that you don't need to cling to a family that isn't good for you, that doesn't support you, or is outright toxic for you, just because of the concept of"blood." Sometimes, finding people who love and care about you, people that you can love and feel accepted by, is the most important thing you can do.
