Apologising to the people I have wronged when I was in denial about my sexuality

If you realize what you did was wrong, and that you have changed, or are willing to, then that is what you must continue to maintain. It may be hard, but you must let go of such binding sentiments like regret or retrospect. If you are chained down to the past, you'll never reach the future -- where you want happiness and fulfillment, I assume -- and obtain what you desire.

Many times individuals focus on obtaining the forgiving from another, and rarely, if at all, from themselves. We are, most times, are harshest critics and fiercest judges. But if you realize this, and learn from, then you are already a step or two ahead of so many who, for whatever reason, wallow about in misery.

Be the example you want to experience. In other words, set an example, and be a wonderful human being to others, because we should all have the same in return. Otherwise, we're only contributing to the harshness and difficulties of life, and only making it more so than it really should be.

 

^ Sounds like a great idea, it's good that you're considering doing so!

 

Hmm, I didn't think being gay and coming out was a problem in Ireland. Guess there are exceptions.

 

Oh ok, makes sense.

I've been to the big cities every time I've visited the UK, so you almost forget that not all of the U.K is socially liberal.
