Robert Blair grew up in the small town of Sweetwater, Texas, but he now calls Dallas, Texas his home. The journey from Sweetwater to Dallas wasn't just about changing locations for Robert. It was a personal voyage from feeling misunderstood and rejected by his family to discovering his true self, embracing it, and turning it into powerful writing. When his family disowned him for coming out as gay, it was a difficult and challenging time in his life. However, instead of giving in to despair, he turned that experience into inner strength and found acceptance among his genuine friends, who continue to support him.Robert's life experiences have not only influenced his writing but also cultivated his wisdom. His best advice is to always stay true to yourself. For 18 long years, he struggled with his identity and harbored self-hatred due to societal pressures regarding his homosexuality. Yet, once he broke free from those constraints and embraced his truth, he discovered a renewed sense of joy in living and a peacefulness that now shines through his literary work. Today, Robert proudly stands as a testament to his belief that being authentic to oneself is the ultimate path to liberation.Even though there were disagreements about Robert being gay, he's grateful for everything his adopted mom, a pre-K teacher, did for him. She played a huge role in his life, guiding him and showing him love during his formative years. Despite their differences, he appreciates the impact she had on his upbringing. Their relationship proves that love and understanding can overcome challenges.
