    So these past two days, I've been feeling really euphoric about being gay, for no obvious reason.

    The last couple of weeks -- or maybe months, I don't remember -- I've had ups and downs. I felt great one moment, completely shitty the other.
    I have one of those great moments now again, but this time it's different. I'm not just happy, I'm soooo extremely relaxed and carefree and.. I don't know. I'm just completely at ease with myself.
    I've realized before that I'm probably gay, but the feeling is different now. Today I had this moment where out of nowhere I was like "wow! I'm actually gay!" and it didn't bother me in the slightest.. actually even made me feel good. Like I wanna scream I'm gay from the top of my lungs. I even almost told my brother.. I had this urge to kiss my bf right in front of him. Luckily I didn't, cause telling him is quite a big deal, so I should probably at least think about it before I do it, but.. yeah.
    I've just never.. ever felt this much "me".. myself.
    I know this probably sounds really weird and like I'm stoned lol! But I'm not. It's just so weird! And unexpected. And great.
    Ugh, I can't explain it.

    Anyway, I just felt so good I wanted to tell people, and as I don't have so many people I can talk to about this (see out status), I'm telling EC :icon_bigg

    I didn't know where to put this. Feel free to move it to Chit Chat if that is more appropriate :slight_smile:

    So ehhm, yeah, I'm gay. :lol:

    Justin, this is so amazing. Not just that you're gay... but that you're so totally happy with it. It's been a pretty quick process for you, and you've done a great job of just walking right into the fear and facing it head on.

    Congratulations, sir!

    Just... think twice before showing up in pumps and a party dress to tell your brother :slight_smile:

    Congratulations Justin. I'm glad you're feeling good about it. Hopefully it will be the boost you need to push forward in your coming out process.

    Like Chip said, your progress so far has been rather amazing. I'm happy for you. (*hug*)

    I totally understand.... when I finally came to terms there was a period of time, about six weeks or so, when I was like, wanting to scream it from the housetops, I was so happy I had finally made the decision to come out.... so I know the place you're coming from. Congrats to you.....

    Congratulations, Justin.

    The elation you feel is that heavy weight lifting from your shoulders!

    Good luck with your brother - despite what Chip says, I think pumps and a party dress would be perfect! Oh and the kiss! :kiss::roflmao:

    Thanks everyone! You are all always so nice (*hug*) I love this place :slight_smile:
    Wish I could thank all of you individually, but that would be too long and boring a post.

    Lol! I don't feel a specific need to wear pumps and a party dress yet, so don't worry :lol:

    Thank you! Haha nah I don't think that would really be "me" lol. I will absolutely consider the kiss, though.
