 A lot of people might ask me as a gay man, what would you tell your younger self now that you are on the other side of coming out? But rather, there are words I want to tell my future self to remind me that times will still be hard and there still will be hurtful words and hurtful actions. You will still have doubts and you will still have questions even if you are a minister. But that's okay because long time ago you believed in faith that a God out there loved you. Faith means not being sure but trusting. So to my future self, just keep trusting. Your faith helped you believe in God all those years ago. Now let that faith help you believe in yourself that you are loved, that you are worth it.
