I came out to one of my best friends a few minutes ago!!! I'll post the conversation! It's still going on, so I'll add to it as I get them. Me: Alright well. I'm not sure how to actually say it Her: What? Me: I need to tell you something. I've only ever told one person (Jane) and I really need you to not freak out. Her: Is this about what you told me in the beginning of the year? Me: Not really Her: Ok Me: I'm actually doing pretty well with that. I haven't done anything in weeks Me: Ok. I'm gay. Her: Honestly, I'm not actually sure how to respond. I'm not freaking out. I'm just surprised. Me: Ok. I don't really know what else to say Her: How long have you known this? Me: A long time. I realized I wasn't straight in middle school, though. I tried to be for a while after that. Her: Ok. Because you've told me of guys you liked before. Her: Are you gonna tell anyone else soon? Don't worry I absolutely promise I won't. Me: Yeah, I know. You mean Peter, right? I sort of "decided" to like him :/ I'd realized it had been a while since I'd liked a guy. I'll probably tell Livi soon. I might come out to my mom after Christmas. I don't know, though. You have no idea how big a deal coming out to you is right now. Thanks for not freaking out Her: I think that telling Livi first is a good idea. I know it must be a big deal for you and it means a lot that you trust me so much. Me: Your basically my best friend I'm so glad I've told you Her: Well you know I'm always here for you. And now we're back to sending emojis back and forth
