Hi, my name is Camron or you can call me Cam. I wanna share my personal story of how I came to start loving myself and loving how I look. I am 23 years old as of today and I didn’t love myself until last year 2021. It took me 22 years to actually love who I was and the person I was becoming. I didn’t do it all alone though. I had a very select few who helped me get to where I am today. Today I can say I love myself fully and will never let another person take that from me. I’ve am apart of the LGBTQIA+ community and it hasn’t been the easiest life. I’ve been through many ups and downs, tosses and turns and even been through some pretty terrible friendships and relationships that almost cost me my life. I learned that I didn’t need to commit suicide over people and it has made me even stronger than I was before. Last year I met a very good friend of mine now that told me this one thing, “If you don’t take risks in life then you will never have new opportunities open for you.” Ever since then I’ve been traveling everywhere meeting new people and making plenty of new friends. It’s made my confidence in myself grow even stronger and bolder than it was. This provided me with even more strength and I keep getting stronger every day fighting off the things that try and come and destroy me. I wouldn’t change the life I have for anything because I’ve finally am becoming the person I’ve always wanted to be. If I could say one thing to everyone out there remember that only you can make you feel a certain way. No one else can make you feel any type of way. Be strong and keeping pushing yourself to become the best person you can possibly be. With love, Cam :)
