October 11th, 2013 was national coming out day. After a long internal debate, I decided to expand the circle of people I'm out to. It took me about 3 weeks to think of what to write, and then 4 rewrites on the day to create the Facebook post that I made to out myself. I am now out to 95% of the people I'm friends with on Facebook. The only people left are some family that I'm going to tell in person after the holidays. I was so scared writing the post. Even though I've had nothing but positive comments and support from everyone else I have come out to, this time could have been different. But I was in awe at the responses. It was all positive. Everyone was so supportive. I was taken back by all the love and support. It felt so good. I still partially on cloud 9 and it's been over a week. With that hurdle, I decided to also come out to a couple family members on FB messenger and also email one of my aunts. Again, nothing but love and support. I can't get over it. Such a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. People love and accept me for who I am. It still brings me to tears thinking about it.
