    I'm about to send this message to my mom... I'm terrified...

    There's been something on my mind for a while now that I really need to let you know. I'm putting this in a letter:text because I need time to organize my thoughts and really explain myself. For the past year or so, I know you've asked me if I've been dating anyone and I've said "no" several times. Well truth is that I actually have been. The truth is that I have a girlfriend. This has been a huge internal struggle for myself for a while now, and I've finally realized that if I'm going to ever be happy and feel like I'm being myself, this is something that I have to accept about myself. The past few years I've done a lot of thinking and taking time to accept myself. In the process, I've become a much happier person. I've been able to come off my anti-depressants and feel like I'm maintaining without them. I've been off for about a year now. You know I've been busy with work and school and haven't really talked to y'all very much and kind of use that as an excuse. Truth is, I feel like I'm hiding his a big part of who I am from you and I've been battling it for a while. I know that you will love me no matter what but I hope you can accept this and be happy for me as well. The other reason I'm putting this into a letter is because I know it isn't easy for you and brings about a lot of emotion. I want you to have time to think about it and process it and we can talk about it. At this point, my nerves are wrecked. Just know that I love you and that will never change, and I'm the same person I've always been... Just a happier person! I love you!!

    I just sent it... Waiting for a response. I'm oddly calm but nervous at the same time.
