I played around with this idea for a long time on my mission... There was a time on my mission where I had to come face-to-face with the fact that my whole life I have lived a double life. I think everyone does, but I just felt like the world needs me. All of me. Maybe that's prideful, but I think that I have been given a gift with words that needs to be opened up to the world... So I don't know if this will get any attention, but I need to be open. I will be writing about the deeper parts of me, parts of me that are harder to talk about, because some things have to be said, even if it's hard to say them.
I'm going to talk about being a returned missionary who struggles with same-gender attraction.
I am going to write about what it's like to be an adult overcoming scars from being molested as a child.
I am going to talk about how the gospel of Jesus Christ helps us through anything we can face.
I am going to talk about being a missionary.
I'm going to talk about sides of me that I don't talk about.
I'm breaking down the walls, because some things need to be released. We can't bottle up everything, we have to face the entirety of who we are. As we do we find that despite it all, we are lovable. We are strong. Let's do this.
