Funny... I didn't think a website like this existed! :lol: but here it is! Lucky for me that I stumbled upon this site while trying to find more info about the National Coming Out Day for this year...:icon_redf but more on that later I guess :icon_wink I still need to get used to this site. So that's about all I have to say for now and I guess I should get back to studying since I have my math exam coming up :dry: ...fun.. Peace,
Welcome to EC! I'm guessing you are planning on coming out on National Coming Out Day? That's great! Best of luck and if you need any help we are always here for you
Hopefully! I was outed a couple of months ago so a few people know already (and they aren't exactly happy about it). After being verbally bludgeoned by those people about it I figured: "You know what? If people are going to find out anyways, it might as well be from me. Because I have no clue what whoever outed me said or how they said it, so for all I know the people that know already might think that I'm some promiscuous whorebag, (when I'm really not.)" So far I've found out as well that a handful of friends from my school know and they, (unlike those other people who found out via-rumours and whatnot), are ok with it. Which is awesome :icon_bigg Now I can't wait for coming out day! No more pretending to be straight and no more hiding my feling half the time only to go through heartbreak simply because I'm so far in the closet that I'm drinking tea in Narnia. It's my last year of highschool, I may as well be myself! After all, it's not like I'll ever have to face those people that have a problem with it ever again right? And if the rest of my friends are ok with it, then there shouldn't be any problems The only people I will not come out to just yet is my family. They are homophobic, and quite frankly, I'm not financially ready for them to disown me thank you very much :icon_sad: ... Maybe when i'm done post secondary, I'll come out.. but for now.. nope
Your title under your name says Shodan. You do Chidokwan? Or...? Because Shodan is a rank of black belt in that style of martial arts.
I practise traditional Karate According to my certificate that I got after my 1st degree grading I have the title of "Shodan" I'm not too sure what it means.. If I find my certificate laying around maybe it will say what it means
