Public displays of affection (PDA) have always been an issue for me. The first interaction I ever had regarding my sexuality was when I was in kindergarten. Long story short, and I’ve written about it here, but I was told that if I kept doing things like I was doing, playing doctor with a fellow boy, I would be put in jail and only have water and bread the rest of my life.
This is the third post in a four-part series with affirmations for the different parts of my life that I use. Affirmations can be a strong and beautiful way to remind yourself of your worth. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that we are worth the life we are living. I learned a lot about affirmations and how they can be incredibly helpful and supporting while in treatment.
