    Hi everyone :smilewave!

    So it's been a while since I last entered EmptyClosets and a lot has happened this past year.
    Before leaving EC, I was this closeted kid who was making up excuses about why I don't feel the need to come out and fully live my life, and because of that, I procrastinated everything. But then I realize I wasn't moving forward and time was passing by. It was time I tought. So, after a while of gathering courage, I came out to my mother. Yes it was hard, yes I cried like a baby and so did my mother, but nothing compares to the relief I felt after coming out to her. Now everything is great .
    Then, a friend introduced me a friend of hers, and we clicked right away. We are now 4 months into a relationship and I couldn't be happier. He brights my day .
    He also met my mother and my sisters and they get along really well!

    What I've learn this past months is that life can get better, it does get better, but it's up to you to make that change. We can sit all day complaining about how nothing changes but we don't realize we are the ones that need to make that change.

    To anyone feeling stuck, know that things can get better for you, but you better move to get the change that you want :icon_wink

    Thanks for reading!
