So this is what it feels like! On Friday, I came out to my first person. She is a very good friend, and was great with it. After that high, I went and did something I initially thought I wouldn't be doing for a good few weeks after coming out to friends; I went home and told my parents, who were also very accepting. With all of them (my friend and parents), there were no arguments, anxieties or drama. If anything, there was just a little surprise as, aside from reflecting in hindsight that I don't talk too much about girls, their gaydars hadn't ever picked me up. Naturally, I've still got loads more people to tell, but wow, I never thought the initial after feeling of coming out would be such a high! I feel special, no longer afraid to be myself and be in control of my life. In short, wardrobes are much better than closets. (!)
That's amazing, you've smashed that closet to pieces! Congratulations I wish I could find the strength to do the same...
