So, I've been off EC for a while. A lot has changed since my absence. First off, I've come out to 3 people. Two of them are my best friends, one of them being an ex best friend that I liked at the time, and he liked me. We had a falling out, and he has sort of tried to "out" me at work (we work together :dry. Despite that issue, I'm glad I came out. Hiding that part of me was already weighing on me. I'm still working on trying to tell family: my mom and sister in particular. I think it's best I put off coming out to my mom since we've been taking care of my dad, who is in need of total care since he got hurt. I don't want to add any more stress on her. Anyway, before I start rambling more, I'm grateful for this forum. I think EC gave me the push I needed to be strong and come out, even if it's just a few people. I will try to come back on here more. Feel free to talk to me! To the newer members, I look forward to meeting y'all and to the members who have become my friends, I am sorry I dropped off the face of EC. I've kept each one of y'all in my thoughts, and know I missed y'all dearly! (*hug*)
Hi, it would be strange for me to say welcome back as I'm new here, so I'll say congratulations on coming out to three people!
