I came out to a couple of my closest friends back in the Fall in person because I felt like it was an important conversation to have face to face. Recently however I realized that I am ready for more people to know and for me to live life as authentically as possible. The only thing that has been standing in my way has been my own fear, and I've realized that if people aren't going to accept me for who I am then they were never my people in the first place. So tonight I burst out of the closet!! I sent personalized messages to ten, yup TEN people, all of my good friends, coming out to them as gay. It was a little scary at first but I just rolled with it and decided this was the best thing to do for my own happiness. Well, the support has been overwhelming! I am so incredibly happy and thankful for the friendships I have formed. I feel so liberated, relieved, and I just thought I would share my journey! (!) I so hope that everyone struggling to come out and muster up the courage gets the opportunity to feel the way I do now - loved and accepted for just being yourself! Peace and love EC. Sweet, sweet dreams (&&&)
