    Today at work I was talking to one of my managers at work, who is like a mother to me. I can pretty much tell her anything. We were talking and I told her that the reason I couldn't truly "get" with anyone at the moment is because I know that I like guys and girls and I don't know how to go about finding someone I'm interested in. She told me that who I am, is who I am, and no one has a right to tell me how to live my life since it isn't any of their business. She told me that she doesn't think any different of me and still likes me regardless of who I like!

    I also told another coworker of mine, she's 18 years old and a senior in high school. She was with me and my manager a minute later. She heard the tail-end of our conversation and asked me, "You like girls AND guys?!". I told her yes, that I knew since I was like 12. She told me that it doesn't change what she thinks of me and that I'm always her friend no matter who I find attractive.

    I'm so glad that it went well, and whether or not they tell other people without my permission or not, it feels so much better that atleast 2 people in my everyday life know now and I don't have to keep it bottled up anymore! (!)

    Also, to add more to my great day, I come home to find out that Star Wars Episode VII is being released in 2015! Not quite as relieving as coming out, but that helped too lol.
