I guess you guys can guess pretty much by the title what I'm about to write, so let's move on to it. First I want to thank EC and all the wonderful people here! I'm sure that without you guys I would have never gone this far in such a short time. I love guys! (&&&) Well, like the title implies, my closet is, once and for all, completely broken. I'm sure some might remember the thread I made about coming out to my mother through a letter, which I'm happy to say was the first step and the most important to me. Her reaction was extremely wonderful and I couldn't have asked for a better one. This happened a couple of weeks ago after I finally learned that no matter what, I needed to love myself if I ever wanted others to accept me for what I am, so I did, and the results have been heartwarming. Yesterday, and I never really placed a lot of thought that it was first of June the month of LGTB+ Pride, I came out to everyone through facebook. I also made a thread about it and I thank everyone that passed by and wrote a "good luck" to encourage me. It has been a day since that happened and I have never cried more on a single day. I just was sooo overwhelmed by the very positive responses, the encouragement and compliment, but most of all.... for their acceptance. Now.... only one person was left to completely be out, my father. I'm happy to say that my mom talked to him about it, on the letter I wrote to her I gave her permission to do it, and from what I get, he took it well too. That means just one thing.... I am finally free from the shackles that used to bind me, I'm free from the torment of the "what people think of me" and most of all.... I'm as closer as ever to God, the one that loved me all of those years when I struggled to be like everyone else but couldn't. I love you guys!!!! I really do. Your help has been what made me move forward. Now I'm happier.. I've been smiling non stop really... And this happiness is thanks to your support and God's help. Thanks again!! And I'll be here because this is a home for me now. (&&&)
Thanks!!!! Never forget that your story played a big part on all of this. Your courage to accept yourself, even when you tried to find any excuse to deny you were gay, made me understand that if you could do it I could too. Thanks a lot! And hang in there man, I know your time will come and I'll be here to congratulate you just like you just did to me. (*hug*)
Yay! I'm actually smiling! Thanks for the comment, I'm sure something good will happen to you, just believe and have faith.
Thanks! I didn't know i helped you out that much! Trust me, you helped me A LOT too! I remember trying to find every excuse to deny that I was gay. How silly of me. I sometimes think "what if I'm not really gay?", but I think it's just me still getting used to this all! I hope to one day be fully out like you! Again, congratulations! (*hug*)
This is amazing! I'm really happy for you!! (*hug*) Reading stories like this makes me feel like one day, I can come out to my parents as well. Ah, to be free... must feel great.
Congratulations! I love when everything works out -- I can't imagine what a freeing experience that must be for you.
Thanks guys! I'm sure good thing will come to you all. Considering my backstory I'm very surprised at myself, I'm sure years back I would have never had the courage to be so open about it. Thanks again guy
