Own It : life lessons from a gay teenage runaway

If there's anything I have learned about life, it's that you deserve to be exactly who you are. By leaning into love, friendship, connection, community, education, and all aspects of life as a gay man, I share several practical life lessons and tools I've learned and applied in my journey to find happiness. While far from perfect, I share an unfiltered view into what it looks like to find this within the LGBTQIA+ community and how you can work to foster community, connectedness, concern, and care for not only yourself, but those around you. Through life lessons and everyday practices, I hope to join you in your journey and help you Own It.
