Moving to the second largest city in America and fighting to know your worth and belief in yourself. It's a constant struggle to not lose yourself in the comparison of others and the facades we all put on.

Coming out later in life and navigating the realm of queerty in the real world outside of the conservative “Utah” bubble. It’s definitely a challenge to stay true to who you are and not get lost in the “expectation” of gay culture.

Growth is constant and we just need to make sure we’re headed in the right direction. Time and patience are key. Steady, compounding actions daily will take us in the right direction. The universe has our back and wants to bless us and see us succeed. So cheers to ONE YEAR and many more in La La Land!
