Like it says, 2012 is going to start with a BANG - for me at least. I am not sure how you all will start yours! But I think yours will be pretty fantastic :icon_wink. Trust me, I'm a self-confessed psychic! (No, I have not really had much proof other than dreaming of things that will happen. But that's only when I remember my dreams: translation: rarely.) The reason mine will start with a BANG is because...well I'm going to throw caution and fear out the window for that day. That day, because of you all, I'm goingto make a cake that says, "I'M GAY!" and then take a picture so I can post it on Facebook. Guess what? My parents are throwing a family/New Year party that day. There will be...maybe 3 families attending. And they are all religious. Two are very religious, and one of those two are very, very religious. None are conservative - at least not that I know. But even though they aren't, I wouldn't exactly say that they are very open minded. Matter of fact, all of the families are...pretty set on their ways. Am I close to any of them? No! Sure my family lived with one of them at one point, but...no. Just no. But I still love them to an extent. I won't exactly be bothered if they have a problem with it. If they want me out of their lives, I don't care, but they better not get the rest of my immediate family involved. That will be the only thing that bothers me - not counting my immediate family's response (minus my dad). My two brothers (maybe four) and my mom... I'm a little apprehensive of their response. Well, maybe onely 3 brothers...the youngest is probably too young to really grasp it. So at least that's one response less I have to fear! At least the 2 older ones don't live close to us, but one is going to visit in January or February. My mom is...a different subject. I know how she'll respond; she won't believe me. And that sucks. I really just want to say thank you! You all really have given me courage and ideas on coming out. So really, thank you doesn't cover it. EC has quickly become an addiction and escape when things are just not going right. I thank God that I stumbled across this site. If I didn't, I'm sure I would still be buried in my closet beneath my clothes that were constructed of lies. So thank you so much people of EC (*hug*)
Good for you for having the courage. ---------- Post added 26th Dec 2011 at 06:06 AM ---------- Couldn't resist? :lol:
Good Luck, I hope that it all goes well for you. I'm planning on sending some of my friends a FB message on New Years. Keep us updated!!
What a wonderful idea! I wish you a lot of luck and happiness in the next year to come. Also, I hope you enjoy that cake after you take a picture of it. I'm assuming you won't let it go to waste.
