Wow, after a rushed and busy day, with mixed ups and downs at work, my evening hobby with the LGBTQ musical group has me floating, and feeling so good. This isn’t the first time, I noticed it a couple weeks ago too. I love music, that always helps. And people seemed especially upbeat tonight (maybe in part because our music, for the Pride concert coming up, is pretty much all upbeat too). I am so glad I came out bisexual, and made sure I’d have some places to dive in and be part of a community, a way to feel like a part of the LGBTQ family. This is soooo goooood! Plus, on top of that I got complimented on what I was wearing, praised by another guy for being really good (musically), and complimented by another guy for knowing current pop music too. I feel like I’ve been hugged (not real hugs, but just all warm and glowing). Wow. How bland life would be if I hadn’t come out, been brave enough to join in, and made LGBTQ friends.
Thanks @virginia and @Lek I feel lucky that I can engage in community. This has been really good for me.
