I never realized how much of a process it is to come out. The more I come out to myself, the more I come out to others. It's so crazy. It's like, accepting myself more and more every day. My friend (let's call him Bob), who I've known since middle school, has been such a big help to me. He's pointed out parts of myself I haven't noticed, or parts of myself I've turned a blind eye to, and said, "See! You're a total lesbian! I don't understand how you've failed to notice before..." I'm so thankful to have a friend who's so supportive. Just thought I'd share this with you guys ^.^ (!) (&&&)
