Bravery increases each time you dare to be more vulnerable; not just for the sake of it, but for the reason you repeatedly state in various ways on each of your posts:

I write because I want you to know that you’re not alone.

There is nothing more powerful than the honest expression of who you are, regardless of gender, or sexuality.

I’m grateful for your kind words BFoundAPen, not just for you acknowledging me, but more so for your courage to share your story and your journey.

Virtual hugs! :-)
