I finally came out to someone!

I wrote a post last week about coming out to my best friend when drunk but then laughing about it so he didn't believe me... Well a couple of days after this (when drunk again) I told him for real and said I wasn't joking. All the years of bottling this up and feeling like people would reject me now seem quite laughable, as his reaction was just "so what if you're gay? You're still the same person?" I got really confused because I was convinced I would be laughed at or he wouldn't want to be my friend anymore but he was amazing. He then said he doubts any of our other friends would care and said I should start telling them. I then even proceeded to tell him some of the stories about when I've snook off alone to gay bars on nights out and how I've managed to avoid girls without people suspecting that I'm gay for so long. He was actually quite impressed with my acting skills and said he never suspected I was gay.

I can't believe I'm writing this post. I feel so happy! And maybe I will have the courage to come out to more friends now . For now though I am currently 5 weeks into a travelling trip around the USA and still have 2 weeks here. I'm actually going to do something I've rarely done before and just be myself. Happy Monday everyone .
