WE CAN DO HARD THINGS. - Glennon Doyle

Letting go of structures can feel uncomfortable and disorienting. Rumbling freedom is scary because at first it feels like chaos...But "progress" is just perpetually undoing out no-longer-true-enough systems in order to create new ones that more closely fit people as they really are. People aren't changing, after all. It's just that for the first time, there's enough freedom for people to stop changing who they are. Progress is the acknowledgement of what is and what has always been. Progress is always a returning.

I'm willing to lose anything that requires me to hide any part of myself.

I don't think that gayness is contagious. But I am certain that freedom is.
