Recently, I've felt more and more like I want to come out to my family and after talking to my friend I came to the decision that my cousin would be a good place to start- we're really close, but he lives far enough away that I wasn't too nervous about him taking it badly or having to awkwardly interact with him afterwards. So, yesterday, I asked if he had time to talk to me about something on Facebook, then sent him a really long message I'd written out before explaining that I liked girls sometimes. I was shaking and so so scared, but his reaction was better than I could have hoped for. I wasn't expecting a negative response or anything, but I was blown away by his overwhelming support and understanding. (I was in M&S- using the free WiFi- and trying to make it look like I wasn't crying ) I have been ridiculously happy since, completely giddy and utterly over the moon. I still have the rest of my family to come out to, but knowing I have him on my side is a huge relief and comfort to me.
