"I think my dad said it best. When I was about 13 and very self-conscious about fitting in, he said to me, “Just be yourself, and if you do that, everyone will love you like I do.” Now I pass his wise words on to you. Be fearless in your quest to be the truest version of yourself possible. The whole world will love you. And should our paths cross, I for one, will be looking for that thing that makes you you."
"I believe that the most honest and informative emotion we experience is joy. Joy gets right to the heart of who we are. It reveals our passions, our interests, our likes and our loves. Tuning into joy is akin to moving the dial of a radio station from the fuzzy muffled static-filled noise to the crystal clear sound of music. Joy is everywhere. Unfortunately, so is pain – we choose which we tune in to. I choose joy, how about you? Joy can be found in the past, in the present and even in thoughts of our future. You can tune-in in any direction, joy is always within reach.
Joy lingers. Joy informs. Joy provides meaning and direction. Joy is a roadmap that takes us right to the center of who we are. When we know what brings us joy, we know who we are. What brings me joy may overlap with what brings you joy, but your joys will be uniquely combined in ways that define you, just as mine define me."
"People who know us best are able to because of one thing: we are real with them! When we are real, people can know us. When people know us, they can feel close to us. When people feel close to us, they like us. When they like us, we feel comfortable to be real. What a perfect circle.
So that’s why I say – get real. However that looks for you. Lose your masks, create your own brand of gay or lesbian. Just be yourself."
