I am a ! 😱🥊
Yes you read that right 👀
Although I post about diversity and inclusion ✍️
Although I proclaim self love 🗣
And although I am evangelist for accepting non binary genders 👥
I still had tough time with this 👇🏽
To go to the nail salon 💅
I know that might sound strange to you
But I never had the guts to walk up to a fully female environment and ask if they would do my nails 🫣
And
I still have parts of myself that is holding on to internalized homophobia 🫥😞
Because
Accepting oneself as they are -one hundred percent takes time ⏳
It takes a life time to be exact ✔️
This is why homophic person has more chances of being q***r 🙈✔️
So last weekend I mustered my courage and walked right in 😊💪🏼
I was the only man in the packed salon 🤓
And to be honest it took me almost the entire session to feel normal 😋
Every time the service personal spoke in Vietnamese to her coworkers or laughed I thought they might be talking about me 😂
But at the end of it the girls told me that I choose the right Color 💅🙌🏽🥰
One small step into nail salon but one giant step towards acceptance ❤️
