Inspiration

Today, I was walking down the city. All by myself. Why? Because nobody wants to go with me. But that's not why I'm saying this, or putting this on my profile. No.
When I was drinking my Starbucks Coffee, I sat down on a bench and looked at the other people on the station. It wasn't very crowded, so that was something I really enjoyed.
Suddenly, these two guys sat down on a bench, two benches away from mine. They were holding hands. I stared, I was shocked actually, they were coming out in public, holding hands. That amazed me.
Suddenly, one of the boys realised I was staring at him. He turned red and talked to his boyfriend. The boyfriend turned all pale and he whispered something to the red one. The red one turned over to me. 'Oh sorry, are we bothering you? I mean, we can leave or go to another bench if you would want that?' I sat there, frozen. I didn't really understand what he was saying. I didn't realise it yet. Until I realised what he was saying. He thought I was disgusted by them. I shook my head.
'No, of course not!' The boys sighed and held eachothers hand again.
'Why?' I frowned. 'Why what?'
The pale boy smiled. 'Why aren't you disgusted by us?'
My mouth fell open, literally. 'Why would I? You're not disgusted by me or the other people on the station, are you? You're just two boys who are in love with eachother and who are open for it, that's totally fine! I actually respect you a lot, that you're coming out for this in public. That's just amazing.'
The boys turned red and they stood up, they sat down on the bench beside me. One of them pulled one arm around me, into a hug. I hugged him back, I did the same with the other boy. 'Thank you, for those words, it's good that someone is actually respecting us. Even my dad doesn't, still doesn't, it's been a year..'
Tears appeared in my eyes and I needed to blink a few times before I could respond to him. 'I respect you guys. You're the type of guys that actually are heroes.'
They hugged me again and told me how thankful they were. The only thing I could do was smile. Because they really are a great inspiration to me. They have shown me that you can be whoever you want to be, as long as you believe in it yourself. Bless those kids, they're ready to be who they are. Now others should see this and be who they are too. Including me.
