#BellLetsTalk about a little boy to whom I owe an apology.

He is the little guy in this photo:
#BellLetsTalk about why I’m sorry:

I’m sorry that you won’t be able to grow up as the authentic you.

I’m sorry that you will micromanage friendships and social interactions in the name of protecting a secret which didn’t need protecting.

I’m sorry you didn’t wish to be known.
I’m sorry that you will convince yourself that you must be someone you’re not because you’ve convinced yourself it’s what others wanted.

I’m sorry, but you’ll be incorrect. Others love you for who you are; they will prove this if only you open up to them.
