Yesterday, i came out to my best friend. It was the most tence moment of my entire life, my emotions were all over and i was in complete upheaval. i segwayed off of one of his conversation topics, intoone of my own. then i committed to what iwanted to do, and i asked if he would continue to be my best friend, even if he knew something about me that may shock him. that was when i proceeded to tell him. the look on his face was... acceptance i poured my heart out to my best friend, and he sat there and took it all in, intently listioning to my every word. after i was finished, he tookmy shoulder and pulled me to his chest, and gave me a hug. i broke down as i hugged him back,andhe said that i was still the same NAME that i always was, and that he could never judge me because of something i had no controlover. the feling was that of intence liberation, compassion, and thankfullness. We talked deep into the night, moving from story to story, laughing as i told him what i was really thinking diuring the course of our friendship. ive never, in my life felt so understood and accepted. even now, it brings me tears of happieness.
Congratulations on coming out to your best friend! I'm happy for you that he accepts you and is there for you no matter what. That's awesome!
