    I was driving from one part of a busy day to the next, when it suddenly dawned on me how beautiful bisexuality is. Had to pull over and take time for a brief cry. That's the first time I've truly felt anything other than negative emotions. There's hope!:slight_smile:

    How exciting! Now, to parlay that realization of beauty into pride!

    Have you found that that feeling of positivity is sticking with you?

    I'm so glad to hear you say that. I just recently came out as bisexual and I'm getting mixed messages from my husband. Today was a really bad day because he looked over my shoulder on one of my posts and thought I was trashing him, which wasn't the case. I'm married and committed to him. He's been supportive and even willing to allow me to explore so I'm not sure why he'd think I'd bash him. I'm just at the very early stages of my self exploration process. I'm not sure if he understands that. It's just a breath of fresh air to see someone bring some positivity to being bisexual because I've been miserable about it all day long.

    Woot!! Even better! If you can see the beauty, then Pride is not far away.

    This sounds like more than a glimmer to me.

    Thanks, Lemongrass and bi2me. Hugs to you, eCallan. I've been there. Was there, earlier today.

    And, yes, Annika. This does feel like more than a glimmer. It feels like light.
