“Coming out is an adventure of its own and it’s very different for each individual. For me, I grew up knowing nothing but love. Love for all of those who weren’t like me or my family. We never judged and accepted all. Which made it easier for me to grow up loving all different kinds of people. I love for the mind and not the bodies of individuals who match my energy. As for my partner, my fiancé, Danielle, her story is much different. She had a harder time growing up and figuring herself out. Sometimes family isn’t as accepting as you’d think they’d be. Sometimes they never fully accept it. This world is mysterious though and life eventually led us together. Through a mutual friend, the moment I saw her photo, I just knew. Her past was rocky, and so was mine but now it’s been 878 days, almost three years, that we’ve spent loving, learning and growing together. It's like living with Déjà vu when with her. Loving her just feels right.”
