Out of the closet
13 years ago
A year ago, I'd posted about a young and attractive guy I'd seen at the cinema, and feeling the pang of going after something that once upon a time I was told I shouldn't (reminds me of that song, "Ever fallen in love [with someone you shouldn't've]" by the Buzzcocks). A lot's happened since then, but the end result is, I can now be truely honest with myself.
Since that post, I've come out of the closet to my brothers, and several close friends... the people I felt the most comfortable... and confident, in telling that I was gay.
Last night, I came out to my Mum, who was incredibly understanding and supportive despite the bombshell news... and feeling that support and confidence, I made the next big step: informing my Facebook circle.
It's taken years to realise it, and months to come to terms with it, but I'm comfortable now with who I am.
I'm 26 years old, an artist, and I'm gay.
(but then, my gallery would've been a rather big indiactor of that, wouldn't it?)

but i bet it feels much better to have it all off your chest .. to have the weight off your body .. and feel just free :)
