This is to all the people who cried during Love, Simon. But not for “how cute it was”. This is for those of you who cried because you will never be accepted by your parents like this. This is for you who do not have a family to turn to. This is for you who cried simply because you wish this is what happened to you.
You are wonderful, and perfect as you are. You do not need to hide or change who you are because someone or something doesn’t accept you. Life will continue and you will find people to love you. People who will become your family. You are not alone. You will not be left behind. You are valued and loved. Be you. And I’m so sorry that your guardian reacted the way they did. You did not deserve that. You deserve to be loved.
