I came out to more people today

So... I came out to 2 more people today and believe it or not they support me too!  They said that they thought I was gay but didn't know for sure, well they were close.  So far I am at 4 people plus my therapist that support me, and 0 that are against me.  It feels amazing!  Cloie is finally starting to show after 18 long years of begging, scratching, and crying to be free.

We all inprison our inner girl, but we suffer because of it. When we let the girl in us come out, thats when we feel free and happer. You are lucky to have support and understanding.

it is very liberating to get out what we have hidden for so long, Personally I thought negativity would hurt more than it actually does. It\'s getting easier to see the people who are accepting, Kind and understanding. I freaked a guy out so bad one night, He saw the true me, not the model I made to fit in. He asked me for a lighter, I reached into my purse and said \"sure dear\" when he heard my voice, he damn near passed out. poor guy, In the past, my anxiety and shame would have made this a bad thing, but in truth it was the most amazing feeling, I felt real, I felt happy it was the happiest moment I can remember. Many people arent as accepting as others thats why I go out with a few of my lady friends, They are great girls and would jump at the opportunity to defend me. (not that I need it but it is nice to have the added support. coming out is tricky at first, but if your experience is anything like mine, you have the support, It gets easier each time, people want to understand, (most) and people dont seem so quick to judge anymore, these are the days of our freedom, we want it, we just have to reach out and take it.
