I came out to my sister! It is still sinking in but boy am I happy. I can't believe that I finally got over my fears and was able to talk about it with her without being afraid of what she might think or say about me. I told her right after breakfast and the response could not have been greater. We talked a bit about it and in some ways it was a relief for her too, because she was concerned about me. She told me not to worry and try to enjoy life as much as possible. Finally I can be myself around her too. I don't have to hide anymore. She is so supportive and amazing. She actually wants me to go out and get involved in the local gay community now! I am happy.....and once again I find myself not being able to describe the feeling. It's amazing! Talking with others including with some of you guys (and you know who you are) about my feelings and fears has definitely helped me to get to the point were I am at. Thank you. So tonight we will go out for dinner and yes, the bill is going to be on me!
Congratulations! I am so happy for you - and it's so brilliant that she's supportive to the point of being enthusiastic about you getting out and about in the gay community! It seems that she's actually supportive, rather than merely tolerant, which is brilliant! I remember when I came out to my sister, and it is such a relief to finally stop holding this part of yourself back! I am really happy for you - you spend so much time and effort helping other people on here, that it is really good to see you getting support and love in return. Congratulations for coming out to her, and have a lovely dinner
Yes, congratulations! I hope you are able able to go out in the community, I'm sort of looking forward to doing that myself.
