    I'm actually reaching a point where being out as a lesbian is normal to me. I don't feel like it's as big of a deal as I did when I was going through coming out. I've dated women and been broken up with twice now, and as much as dating can suck sometimes, I'm starting to feel comfortable with it. I don't obsess so much as I did for a while, and I am starting to feel more accepted. I think I'm truly reaching my new normal, and starting to feel like a whole person again. It feels so much better to be my true self and be okay with it.

    Good for you, RosePetals! You made me happy from reading that. I'm starting to feel more normal, too, but not fully there yet.
