    So, if any of you have read any of my stuff then you know I’ve been having trouble coming out to people, just read the AHHHH!! Why is this so hard thread under help/support. Anyhow, I finally came out to a friend tonight. I basically texted her this morning and said I was going to call her tonight and tell her something really important. Sort of a trap myself in to it thing. So, I called and told her. She said she cool with it. I’m glad I got one out of the way, a million more to go. I feel really exhausted now.

    The first one is always the hardest, but you did it!
    I think everyone feels exhausted after the first time.

    But the next few will be easier!

    Well done - that first one is the hardest one (at least, that's how I've found things)

    So I randomly told someone at work I haven't seen for a while.
    Co-Worker: So I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been?
    Me: Well, I'm kinda gay now.
    Co-Worker: no way. High Five!!!!
    It just made me laugh
