I was born into a middle-class family and grew up in a small town. My parents were high school sweethearts who met at the local diner where my mom worked as a waitress and my dad as a chef. They had me when they were 25 years old, and I've always been their only child.

Growing up, I was always a bit of an introvert. I spent most of my time reading books or playing with my dolls, while my parents would often go out on dates. But despite being shy, I developed a strong sense of curiosity about the world around me, which led me to explore different hobbies and interests.

As I entered high school, I began to realize that I was gay, but it wasn't until I started college that I fully accepted myself as LGBTQ+. It took some time, patience, and self-reflection, but eventually, I came out to my friends and family. Since then, I've been proud to live openly and authentically, even if that means facing challenges along the way.

I currently reside in a small apartment with two of my closest friends from college. We share a love for music, art, and good food, often hosting dinner parties or karaoke nights at home. My favorite activities include hiking on nearby trails, attending local concerts, and reading science fiction novels.

My parents have always been supportive of my choices, even when they didn't fully understand them. I know that not everyone has the same level of acceptance, so
