    Ever since I've accpeted my attractions to males (a mostly gay identity), I feel like my life is different. It's almost like I woke up from a dream and realized that attractions to males is my reality.

    It's like for example, 3 years ago I just started high school. Now that I've realized how far I've come, it's quite astonishing.

    Anyone know what I'm saying? The feeling is quite weird.

    I get you completely. Realising my sexuality, and consequently acting on it, and coming out to people has absolutely changed my life. I'm now the person I've always meant to be, and it feels great. There's still a long way to go, although a few days ago I came out to this boy at my school that I kinda have feelings for, and, very surprisingly he called me brave, and completely accepted me, even though he's a 'cool kid' and seemed homophobic in the past. Being increasingly open about my sexuality is a great feeling, and I'm looking forward to coming out at college! I wouldn't say it was weird. Although for a great deal of time it definitely felt weird, because everything you've ever assumed about yourself you are forced to question. But once you work it all out, it feels only great! :slight_smile:

    I know the feeling. The old life is now the dream you are trying to wake up from and move along with your life. Born again, why should the Christians have all the fun!
