“Being seen was imperative to my healing. Being congruent! Feeling that my internal self and external self were one allowed me to really see my self for the first time!! This felt amazing! Being seen by others was important too! Being validated by external sources: friends, family, and strangers helped me grow strong. I will pay this back by seeing others and celebrating their true self.” ~ Will Van Roosenbeek
