    im quite embarrassed this morning, but drank a good amount last night, then updated my facebook to say goodbye to friends i havent recently seen because im moving to another state in a week. but, i also publicly came out and have had so many supportive messages and comments. so much more than i expected. i feel so vulnerable and want to cry in a good way. most of my friends are sensible, liberal people and i assumed my change in in sexuality would be tolerated or ignored. i did not expect to see so many people enthusiastically messaging me and being so excited for me.

    i swear this is the brightest, sunniest morning ive ever seen.

    I'm glad it worked out for the best (&&&)

    As a rule I would say that's the last place you want to come out though. Lol

    It hasn't been without some unintended drama, but I suspected there would be some consequences. But overall it's been a huge relief. I had already came out to people closest to me, but not fringe friends and such.
