Staying Grounded

Write about a tradition or routine that has kept you grounded throughout your coming-out process.

Often, the process of coming out to family can be challenging, but familiar routines or traditions can offer much-needed stability and comfort. Identify and explore these supportive elements in your life. Is there a particular routine or ritual that has helped you manage the emotional toll of coming-out? Has a specific tradition served as an outlet for expression or a sanctuary of solace? Reflecting on these practices may provide a chance to appreciate the value of stability during tumultuous times.
