Sexuality shouldn't define anyone. It doesn't define me. Love should be at the core of what you do.

I'm not afraid to say I'm very comfortable with who I am and I love who I love.

It's okay not to be okay... Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart but tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising, there's nothing wrong with who you are.

Never expect, never presume, always work hard and always be true to who you are.
