Things I Wish I Knew When I Was in the Closet

Take more chances. Put yourself out there. 

I waited so long to set myself free because I was afraid to take more chances and be bold. Go after what you want and don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t achieve the highest heights because you absolutely can. So often, as sheltered closeted gays, we’re taught that the outside world will never accept us: We’ll never be able to hold high-powered jobs because of some half-cooked idea that sexuality matters in the workplace.Wrong.

Be who you want to be. Go after your dream(s).

But in order to succeed (in anything), you have to believe in yourself.
