    I don't think I've felt this happy in a long time. For years I never felt that my sexuality was complete until I realized I'm gay. I always felt like there was something wrong with me. But there was nothing wrong with me. I just didn't have all the pieces to my puzzle. I can hardly believe just how good I feel. It's like I've been reborn. I hope that everyone on here can feel the same way some time soon. I have made lots of friends here. And hopefully one day we can all get together. I think that would be amazing!

    That's right! There was never anything wrong with you. This realization is a wonderful place to get to. Once that whole puzzle comes together it's like, 'oh yeah, of course this all makes sense now!' Glad you are happy and feeling good!

    It’s such a peaceful, content place to be isn’t it?! Finally!! No more hiding, lying or shame.

    It is freeing for sure. I am very glad you are happy. I also felt that way when I stopped questioning. Like now I can be me.

    Ditto to all comments above! I've mad a mess to get here (not crazy mess - just bad choices), but for the first time I feel free and not condemned... self hatred is leaving... Some day when the time is right, I cant wait to get my name changed and license modified... I feel blessed with a new start...

    *HUGS* to each of you!!

    Totally relate to this feeling. It is like I can now focus on everything else and not worry about this. People notice that I am smiling more and am more relaxed. Besides my stress levels are so much better and I am generally a more happy person even if nothing is perfect!

    It was all the years of my husband telling me that there was something wrong with me. And I believed him. I was all mixed up then. Had lots of anxiety issues. So I never had the strength to really look into myself and see who I really am. It's not an easy thing to do after all those years. But it's worth it to finally see yourself for who you really are.
