It's insane how many things have changed completely upside down since when I was a child.
I was always told and raised that homosexuality is unnatural, and I went along with that, despite me being attracted to boys and not realizing it.
I used to think nail polish and makeup on boys was ugly, now I think it's an amazing thing and cannot get enough of it myself.
I was taught that there was a rigid, binary gender structure, and nowadays I sometimes completely forget about the entire concept.
I'm happy that I've finally got over those things, I am still very ashamed of the things I've said and thought when I was younger, and even more of the opportunities and experiences I missed because of that.
They weren't lying when they said "when you are queer, you truly start living when a quarter of your life has passed".
If I ever have a kid, it will be my utmost duty to ensure they will never have to go through the same thing.
