I have come out to one friend and my sister prior to today. Today I came out to a friend who I have known for 20 years, she recently came out and is now has a partner. I was so nice, she was so supportive and knows exactly what I am going through. I don't know why this process is so hard, it shouldn't be. This is me, this is who I am. Wow what a needless struggle this is. Anyway, today is a good day. Who am I gonna tell next? :lol:
I've likened coming out (especially later in life) to pulling a splinter out of your finger. There's a lot of storm and fury and "OMG this is going to hurt"...and then it's just kinda gone. And you wonder what the big deal was. Who are you going to tell next? Whoever you feel like telling next. Lex
That's great that you could come out to your sister and friend. It looks like you are on a roll. Congratulations! Coming out is hard because you are letting down your defenses and in the back of our minds there is always a fear of what happens, if it doesn't turn out the way we wanted it to. But it does get easier with time, and soon it will just be part of another conversation. Well done!
