Now I can accept myself and be who I am

December 24, 2019
“I have worked since I was 16. I work at McDonald’s in Fairhope and part-time at Island Wings. I am big on priorities and getting my bills paid early. I am a people person and like to make people happy. When I open the window at the drive-through line I am ‘hey, how are you doing?’ People get excited by happy energy and are surprised by it here.  I felt festive this morning and dressed for Christmas. I put the Rudolph nose on for kids. My favorite Christmas memory was the year I got a Leapster.
I am a reality television fanatic and competitive and want to be on Big Brother. They open applications on January 1 and I have already made my casting video. I want to be  a producer and create my own reality show. I want to be the male version of Tyra Banks.
I was bullied in high school based on my sexuality. I didn’t know myself in middle school. I was confused about why I felt the way I did. I became an introvert and kept to myself to avoid the backlash. I was afraid to accept myself and dressed manly to play a different part. I went to a camp and had a therapist there. She kept saying there is something you are holding in. I got mad at her for pressing me. Finally, I said I was gay. She said that is what I was talking about. It felt so good to admit it to someone. Now I accept myself and can be who I am. I am just Justin.”
