Through a casual conversation with a friend, I let it slip! I didn't actually say the words, but i eluded to it enough that he just asked, "Do you like women" and I said yes! My heart was literally beating out of my chest. I know its not a huge deal, but I think people on this site will understand the significance of this. My emotions are not all positive, I feel extremely vulnerable now which I don't like and almost a little shame. I gave this personal info to someone not knowing what they will do with it. But the conversation continued on normally so I count this person as a supporter! I am really relieved after all of this time to have finally opened the closet door just a little. I know this doesn't warrant any response, but I just needed to share, its been a long time coming!
Well that definetly took some courage. But you did it and came out - congrats Hopefully that person you talked with proves themselves as a good friend and supporter.
