    I dunno what I'm doing.

    Just finished watching this movie Prayers for Bobby ( and cried like a girl through it ).

    I sent my aunt in Arizona a message asking if she will be around in March/April. I told her not to tell anyone and that I have something important to tell her.

    I think I'm gonna come out to her. I'm freaking out a little, too late to recall message, but I cannot do this any longer.

    She is the safest person that I can think off and I have always been close to her.

    I hope I am not making a mistake.

    Still crying. I can't believe how this movie got to me so bad.

    Haha I know the feeling. That movie definitely hits close to home. Anyways, congrats on getting the courage to come out to your aunt. Let us know how it goes :slight_smile: And if you start panicking, take deep breaths. That usually helps me calm down.

    I think I'm going to watch this movie- it sounds like it was really moving!! I totally understand what you're feeling though and I know you can do it! From what you've said, it sounds to me like she won't bat an eye and love you all the more. :slight_smile: Let us know how it goes! Sending love your way! (*hug*)

    Kudos on getting the courage to come out to your aunt. I hope it goes well for you!

    You're not making a mistake. Feeling compelled to come out after watching that movie may seem like an impulsive, emotionally-driven act right now, but ultimately it's the right thing to do, and you won't regret it later.
