Default An Amazing Weekend

I just got back into town, after spending a long weekend visiting a guy I have been seeing for a few weeks. We had an amazing time. He lives in a city where there is a huge gayborhood. We went out to gay bars, shops, restaurants, even a gay beach. There were gay families with kids there! It felt so amazing to actually put my arm around him in public and kiss him and not think twice about it. We went out with a gay couple who he is friends with, and I also had a great time. The guy I am seeing is completely out, and we actually sat and watched a DVD with his dad, while we were holding hands. It was wonderful to feel completely free to be me in public!

I am really giving serious thought about being completely out. There are some real professional issues for me that I have not sorted through yet, not to mention my kids. But, it felt so good to just be me.

Hey that's great! Wow. Glad that you had such a great time. No worries about the things you still need to figure out. Everything will fall in place sooner or later. I think for now, it is important that you have a great time and that you are yourself! Way to go.
