    I didn't ever think I would ever get to this milestone but today I was able to do it. I texted my mom today basically telling her that I am gay. She said it was alright. I wouldn't have done it as it seems my mother is going through stressful times right now, but I never get to tell her as I tried before, I never get to that "at this point I just have to do it no matter the outcome" feeling. But she seems like this won't stress her. I told her we can talk about it sometime. All I know right now is she said it's alright!
