    My family has a tendency to have heart to hearts while doing chores, especially when washing the dishes. I have no idea why. My dad actually proposed to my mom while doing the dishes. But I'm getting off track.

    I've known I was gay since I was 14 years old. I spent years afterwards trying to convince myself I wasn't. I always promised myself that I'd come out when I was 18. I turned 18 at the end of last year and was starting to get really anxious. So I just did it today. I was washing the dishes and my parents were in the kitchen so I told them. (I came out to my sister a couple months ago). It was kind of childish. I said something along the lines of, "I just thought that you guys should know that I've always like girls and only girls." But I got the words out. Mom teared up and hugged me. Dad hugged me and said he didn't care, he just wanted to be happy. Great responses from wonderful parents.

    I thought I'd feel less anxious afterwards, but I'm still really shaky and nervous hours after. I'm not sure why.
