    I finally came out to myself, I wish I had had the courage to do it sooner.
    I can't tell anyone at home, cuz my mother is like devout catholic, if I told her she would probably have aperplexy.
    It took a really long time to realize because of her teachings and her gerneral attitude towards anything that the Bible call 'abomination'.

    I really felt like I needed to talk to someone I trusted, but I was so embarrassed because I had always been adamant that I was straight, because it was the only thing I knew, the only thing I had been allowed to know, I was worried that people would judge me because of what I said before. Then, when I finally sucked up the courage to get past that, I came out to my friend in a PM (I would have done it in person but she is half way across the world). She wasa so accepting and understanding. In a few short sentences she made me wonder why I had ever been worried or embarrassed.

    Now I just feel happy, really, really happy!:icon_bigg(!):slight_smile:
