as of today, everyone I wanted to tell knows. :S basically, I kept a small notepad, where I "let it all out". my sister found it in my bedroom. so, to recap: mum knows (told her) dad knows (controls internet and sees my history by his computer) sister knows (book) oldest cousin knows (bebo mail) 2nd oldest knows (sneaks onto the oldest's bebo mail) aunt knows (also sneaked onto the oldest's bebo mail :/ ) and support people at school. so my immediate family, some school figures and 3/5 of my aunt's family know. and the other 2 are 6-9 years old :/ it's odd how someone can come out to their whole family after one letter, one email and their notepad :/
Seanr, Just a note to say congratulations. Doing what you did is not easy and for many people may take an entire life time. As a matter of fact it took me twenty-four years before I had enough courage and will power to open up to my parents and tell them. But after some reflection I am glad that I did this because I no longer have to live a double life. Once again, I am most proud of you. Take care. careandrespect
awe well yey for progress! and not gonna lie all those "(sneaks onto the oldest's bebo mail)" mad me giggle.
it was very strange I laughed a little when writing it, as I only just realised how funny it was :lol:
That's great - congrats on your progress! What about your best friend, the one you've been trying to come out to? He sounded like he was so accepting
I really, REALLY want to tell him, but either I've been a chicken, or I've thought "well, why does he need to know"
it's the second best outcome I could possibly have :icon_bigg the best would have no outing to school, and only half of my personal life (the gay half), but ah well :3
That's awesome that you are out to your family and to some people at school. That's already quite an accomplishment! Congratulations! As for your friend, just go for it. He is your best friend. As Olides mentioned, he is accepting and if I remember correctly, he trustworthy and would be supportive. It would be great if your best friend would be part of your support network. I'm sure you are feeling much happier now that you have come out to your family. Guess what? You are going to have the same feeling once you are out to him. Keep reminding yourself of that, and just tell yourself, lets do it! It doesn't matter in which way you come out to him. There is no right or wrong way.
Congratulations! What you did took huge amounts of courage. I'm happy for you. Living your life as an OUT individual is truly living your life to the fullest.
I will in about 2 weeks, when we split for study leave. I have HUGE self esteem issues, so I'd prefer not to be there he will take it good, but my shyness iss...too big. I can't overcome it. on a side note:I hope a future boyfriend like the relationship part of going out rather than the bed :lol: it seems everything slot together :S idk. it's strange :lol: I could never imagine keeping it a secret beyond secondry school, so it was now, or never :lol:
