Finally!!

Hello guys.

I finally have come out to someone face to face. I feel so much more relaxed and undoubting.

I was at my friends house, I've known him since 6th grade and now we are in 12th. I've been planning on telling him for awhile now.

The situation fell together like pieces of a puzzle the universe made just for me. I did not plan on it today, and it was a surprise unplanned visit. Me, him, and about five of our other friends were there, I didn't expect it to happen, I kept it in the back of heart until the moment was right. I said " Can I see your dogs?" (I LOVE his dogs) He said yeah I and got up and went to the back. I was surprised a little that he followed me, and he were talking conversationally while I played with the dogs. Something inside of me rose up and took over. "This is a PERFECT chance" I thought.

We were talking for a while, and everyone stayed inside, another reason I thought it was a good time. And I said "I'm glad I came over today"

"I'm glad you did too"
"......I've been meaning to tell you something"
"What is it?" (with a tone of surprise and concern)
( I then held the dog a bit tighter, summoned up the courage and got rid of the rising panic in my latter voice)
"I....I think I'm gay..."
He looked at me and said "Really?"
"yeah"
"Are you sure?"
"I know I'm not straight at least"
"....You don't like boobs?" :roflmao:
(smiles) "Not as much as most"
"Hm... Well, your always going to be you so It's okay"


I wanted to jump on him and cry and laugh and squeeze him at that moment.

I never felt so accepted and not alone before. I want to cry with joy when I think about it.

And we carried on as if nothing happened, playing video games for a long time with everyone else, having a fun evening.

This moment has given me hope and love in a new sense, A small light in this world of intolerance and doubt.

I'm figuring out who to tell next.

Thanks guys.
