Hey everyone, I'm new here. I've been looking around the past few days, reading the articles and forum posts, and I think that this website is amazing. I came out a couple months ago. I had assumed that my struggle would end at that point, but it seems as though it's just beginning. But, anyway, I just wanted to say that I feel like this website is already helping me a lot. This page in particular helped me so much in understanding all the thoughts I've been having these past six years, and the recent words of my parents, and probably most of all, the emotions of my (now-ex) male partner (who I almost married). I had never thought of the coming out process as a grieving process, but now that it has been put into those terms, I have a much better understanding of what my loved ones and I are going through. So, I'm going to stick around here, and maybe post some more, and move closer to a place of self-acceptance and pride every day. Thank you!

Your title is, "different colours made of tears," which means you like "Venus in Furs" by the Velvet Underground, which means I automatically like you and think you're awesome.)
