    Wow. While responding to another post on here, I realized that it has been almost 10 years since I knew that I was queer. It's been a giant uphill battle but I am accepting of who I am. I am not out yet but I know I will be soon.

    It just seems surreal to me that I have been pretty close to living a lie for almost a decade because of an internalized fear. Makes me wonder how much different my life would have been if I had just accepted this part of me when I knew. Then again, I don't think I'd be as strong of a person now if I did.
