    Well tonight was a rather was a rather special night.
    I came out to my best friend.
    I told him while we were at a star gaze thing for our astronomy club.
    I told him that I wanted to talk to him so we decided to walk around the baseball
    Field. After almost ten minutes of near silence of fear, I just said it and came out to him.
    I was perfectly fine with it. I was breathing really hard because coming out is much harder than it seems. I'm so happy that he was fine with it.
    He even offered to have me call him in the morning and anytime I want if I need someone to talk to.
    I thought Id just throw that out there.

    I actually feel a lot better. For the last weeks or so, me being in the closet was tearing me up inside. I've been wanting to tell him for some time.
    And it happened.
    It still feels like it didn't happen though.
    Like it was dream. But it did happen. I'm just glad I have him as a friend.

    Thats great. I felt the same way before and when I came out and now my best friend could be my boyfriend. And sometimes it does feel like a dream.

    Good for you! I know it takes a lot of guts,especially to your best friend. Nobody wants to be shunned. When I came out to my (supposed) best friend,she freaked and we haven't spoken since.I'm glad your friend reacted in such a positive way!

    there is really nothing else i can say that hasn't already been said but... congratulations, felicitaciones, félicitations, Glückwünsche, 祝賀, congratulazioni, Gelukwens, parabéns, поздравления, 祝賀. Thats 'congratulations' in English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese(traditional) respectively. :grin: isn't it just such a weight lifted off you're shoulders knowing you can now be yourself completely around someone?
