“Your feelings are valid”
“You’re not alone”
“You can get through this”
“You matter”
“I care for you”
Saying these words to someone struggling can really help. Most of the time you don't need to have all the answers. Simply being there can be enough.
“Queer people exist. Choosing not to accept them is not an option. To anyone watching this who isn’t out, it’s okay. You’re okay. You were born this way, it’s right and anyone who has a problem with it is wrong.” – @danielhowell, YM Ambassador #Pride
