Jacob Cornish, diver @jake.cornish
I received a call from an old friend the other day. We weren’t too
close in school but we managed to end up at the same parties due to
shared friend groups. He told me that I might not know it but I gave him
the confidence he needed to come out to his friends and family. This
was inspirational for me because I didn’t think I had the confidence
that he thought I did. I still stutter and twist my words around so I
wouldn’t feel like I did something wrong by saying that I am gay. I know
who I am, and I want to be free to express it, and I want others to
feel the same way. If I can help somebody be their true selves by being
true to who I am, that is motivation for me to do so. I still come
across people who aren’t favorable of my sexual orientation but I’ve
learned to blow it off and reflect on the people who truly love me for
me. I want to thank this guy for giving me courage and confidence in my
own skin, and I want to pass that on.
Love this! Thanks for posting this Jacob 😏
