v.sh is not exporting the variable using terminal ubuntu

Question

I want to export many paths using a .sh script. after running it nothing is exported I don't know why. so if anyone can advise. This is the script used:

#!/bin/bash

txtrst=$(tput sgr0) # Text reset
txtred=$(tput setaf 1) # Red
echo "${txtred}## var ##${txtrst}" 

T_D_L=/home/
T_D=$T_D_L

after that I run echo $T_D_L but nothing happens

I was using ./script.sh to run, and the correct way is source script.sh
