    I just came out to my mom (yay me)! I have been contemplating the perfect moment to tell her for a couple of months now. I was sitting on the couch reflecting on how this was a quiet non-stressful evening. My mom was cleaning in the basement and I called her upstairs and had her sit down. I told her that in the past two months I came to the conclusion that I am either bisexual or completely gay and she just bluntly said to me, "Okay well I still love you....... To tell you the truth I sort of already suspected it."
    So I said to myself, great I have been giving off lesbian vibes unknowingly this whole time. GREAT. It is a little weird that she knew before I even fully knew for myself but I guess that I shouldn't be surprised.
    Anyways, I am really glad that I told her because now I can have more open conversations with her and be true to myself which feels wonderful. I even joked with her that I was looking to buy a "lesbian help guide" online but thought of how awkward it would be if I ordered it from Amazon before I came out to her. In case you don't know... Amazon likes to send book suggestions to your e-mail and it would have been awkward if my mom was forwarding me... lesbian related books?

    ANYWAYS... this has been super challenging for me. I went from thinking that I was totally straight to totally thinking that I was gay. I then reflected back on how often in my life I even liked guys and I came to the conclusion that I never did... ever.
