Inspirational Couple

This is such a spontaneous blog post so I apologise in advance if it's boring or whatever but seriously today I've completely changed. I can feel it. It's so weird!

Anyway after watching a whole heap of videos on You Tube about this specific couple it dawned on me that they're completely my inspiration. They're such strong, hilarious, strong, bold women that are entirely themselves and don't let anyone else get them down. 

OBVIOUSLY, I'm talking about the all famous lesbian couple; Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi. What they've been through as children and young teenagers is so touching. With Portia going through an eating disorder as she was pressured as a teenager after she started modelling at the young age of 12 and her Dad dying when she was so young. And Ellen having family troubles with her Mum having cancer and her step dad sexually abusing her. When I found this out I was so touched and it hit me right inside. They're living proof that you can be an amazing person and that the hard steps that you've had to go through do absolutely make you a better person.

And of course, they've both been through the struggles of coming out too. Portia knew she had a connection with Ellen when they first met however she found it very hard to act upon them as Ellen was already out and was considered the most famous lesbian woman. However Ellen's coming out journey wasn't easy. Ellen came out during her 4th season of Ellen in 1997 on Oprah.

They got married in 2008 and in my opinion are just so perfect together and are such good role models to all younger girls who are struggling with who they are because they think they will have a lower quality of life because of their sexuality.

I totally apologise for this random post but I will stop rambling now! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog.

Lots of love,
