For me, being honest with myself and, taking that first step toward dealing with a lot of difficult issues in my life head on. As long and hard as that road was (still is on a couple of thing) I have basically made it through and, it was more than worth it to get here. Had I chosen to hide being gay, I think I would have kept hiding the other things I needed to face too and, I'd be in a miserable rut, if even alive now. Instead I chose to come out, step up and face my issues and, now I'm living the life I thought was an impossible dream back then.
