There's so much bullying with young people and them feeling like they can't come out, and they don't know what to do. And it's something that you have to work through. And, you know, for me, it was - I came out, and then I went back in for a minute. And then I came out, and I was like, 'You know what? This is who I am.'

Nice 🙂

Tabatha is certainly one inspirational woman, then there are so many inspirational people on here who battle with being bullied and feeling like crap because of the doubt and anxiety and depression that it causes and has people scared of being who they really are. The good thing is that most come through. The bad thing is that it's painful but we're all here on the forums to help each other and create a place of care and non judgement. That inspires me.

On being brave... It takes some courage to be who we are, I think about the people who contribute to this forum and whilst life has challenges, they are rising to them. It raises the question, that if they can do it why mot me? So there it is, inspiration to live, from ordinary people living extraordinary lives.
