    Ok so I'm like super ok with my sexuality now. Even though it still feels hella weird with a totally different sexual identity mostly cause I always thought I always knew but whatevs water under the bridge. So much so that bridge isn't even in use anymore now it's just some decrepit piece of junk kids dare them to go across till one of them crashes through better hope the brats can swim. What was I saying?

    Oh yeah. So I know most everybody's gonna be chill about it especially my mom. Cause she said if I was gay she'd still love me. It sounds sweet but that was in front of all my friends and soon to be first girlfriend. That's what parenting is right? 70% humiliating your son for amusement? Suffice to say I know they'd be cool but I still don't know how to broach the subject. Like "oh yeah by the way you know how I like girls? Well apparently that's only half the story." Actually that's not that bad. But still anyone have any advice for commin out to both friends and family?

    congratulations, you've done the hardest part! as far as coming out to other people, you might try saying something like this: "I'm bi." :eusa_clap

    So I messaged my best friends asking them to get on skype. Even though I didn't think much about telling people at first, like it was just going to be simple and easy, it feels like it's getting harder and harder to force myself to as the time draws closer.

    Don't overthink what you are going to say, just say the words and enjoy watching their reactions. You are in the driver's seat, not them.
