I met my best friend on another forum - spiritual - about 15 or so years ago. I knew she was open minded but at the same time, I was petrified to tell her I am bisexual. So everyone knows, this woman is the sister I should have had, not the one I was cursed with. She and I both have horrid siblings, and we've gone no contact with them and became each other's sisters. She and I are twin sister souls, and I cannot imagine life without her around, even if it's long distance (she's in the US, I'm in Canada). She knew something was up when I told her I'm trying to process something, something big, and I'd tell her when I was ready. Today, I told her about my bisexuality... I was shaking in my sneakers, and freaking out, hoping she would not reject me. She has fully accepted it and was relieved to know I came clean to her before anyone else other than my husband and my therapist - who just found out only a couple of hours ago during our monthly session. Bestie told me I'm valid, and she will always love me as her chosen sister. I'm now bawling with relief. She is such an amazing person... She is the best thing that has happened to me, next to my child. I can't thank her enough for her love, support and full acceptance of me as I am. So relieved! Whew.
Thanks, both of you. She's more than accepting, and is even supporting me as a queer artist! This is why I say she's the best, the sister I should have had instead of the siblings I was cursed with. Much love to both of you!
I came out to another friend, another woman. She's so accepting too! I'm ultra lucky to have both of them as friends, and so glad to have them both in my innermost circle!
Thanks. I am slowly coming out to others in the community one by one. But only those I trust and I know won't out me. I wear my pride bracelet each time I leave the house, and I'm getting clothing with the bisexual flag colors on them.. Subtle but it feels just right to do that.
