Another Coming Out Story

    You guys have seen a million of these on here, but here is mine :

    I am just 20 years old at this point in my life, and have always been scared of who I was. Finally realizing that I will never truly be able to love myself if I can not even be honest about who I am I decided to tell my best friend that I am gay.

    I knew he was with his girlfriend at the time, so I decided to text him, and within 6 total text messages (I had a lot to say) I told him. I have never felt so scared in my life, and that is the honest to god truth, as he is one of the most important people in my life.

    I turned my phone after this because I wanted to go do something to take my mind off of it, so I went out with another friend. Upon turning my phone back on (expecting the worst because we come from a small ultra-conservative suburb of San Diego) I had a message from him explaining that he wished he could talk to me because thats the way he wanted to do it, but since my phone was off he texted me saying that it changed nothing between us, we were still best friends, and he would love me and be by my side no matter what (camera cuts to me crying in a booth at the Olive Garden), and that he wanted to talk as soon as I was available.

    I haven't talked to him yet as it is early in the morning where he is now, but I have never felt more free and liberated in my life, and I am finally ready to start my life, and start in as a person who loves everything he is.

    Now to just get some pics of me in nothing but underwear (or a pic at all) and maybe a few extra trips to the gym to get extra ripped and I will be an authentic RJ'er, yeah? In the end, I have never been happier, and I can only wish the same for others.

    Congratulations on this huge step. It's great that your friend is so supportive, it isn't always easy and friends and allies are key. I'd bet it will only get better from here.

    I applaud you and I'm proud of what you have done. It takes a lot of courage to live truly and comfortably with who you are. I wish I had had your courage when I was your age. Now you will not waste the best years of your life having to liive a lie; you can find love and happiness. Good job!

    I did call him. He just wanted to hear that I was really okay, he restated everything that he said about being there for me no matter what, and we are best friends for life.

    Definitely loving life at this point.

    I completely know how you feel man, it is just amazing to know that real friends don't care what the hell you do as long as you're happy... And like you say, there's is nothing better to have that feeling of loving yourself and grabbing life by the balls...
    CONGRATS DUDE!!! icon_biggrin.gif

    Shawnathan saidIt feels great, eh?
    Your eyes get adjusted to the dim light in the closet then you can't tell just how dark it is until you're outside looking in.
    Let the games begin - Best of Luck!

    Safe to say at this point, even though I told him a few days ago, that we have actually gotten closer. Weird how that has happened. So grateful though.

    Shawnathan saidThere is one less barrier between you.

    I will say that is true. Actually there are no longer any barriers, one less from one is definitely zero, we have been open about absolutely everything except me being gay up until now.
