    Last night I got together with my old high school buddies. We had a very good time drinking, smoking, catching up, exchanging jokes, making fun of each other, etc. We all crashed at my friends house because the rule is if we drink we stay the night (much respect to his parents). Took them to breakfast and paid the tab because I love my friends and I guess you can say I am the rich friend. So after breakfast we went back to my friends house and before everyone was about to part ways and go home I asked them if we can talk for a minute. I told them, "I know I am a quiet guy and that's because I was confused with myself and recently I've discovered that I'm gay. . . (Small silence) I just need to get that off my shoulders." Their reaction was not what I expected... They all looked at me and said "so" with blank faces. I was expecting to be bombarded with questions likes "How long have you known?", "Are you dating?", "You like penis?", the list goes on.. After they all gave me a hug and we parted ways as if nothing happened. Honestly that was the best damn experience I could have asked for. Coming out was something that scared me before but I feel great and confident with myself. The next hurdle is coming out to my parents maybe I'll do it over the next two weeks.



    Happy Wednesday everyone! :icon_bigg

    So happy for you! I couldn't imagine coming out to several people at once even today, but great job on taking this huge step forward. It gets a whole lot less stressful in terms of coming out from here on :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
