It's funny I'm going to talk about something so personal on a forum where I have only just registered and have no acquaintances but I guess many on here have gone through this so this is what makes a community so special.
That said, a few days ago my life finally changed. I live in a very conservative land, where the Church has a major role in people's lives, where religion dictates the most common "moral behaviour", so you may easily guess why homosexuality is still a taboo around here.
It took me a lot of time to accept and clear myself of all doubts about my sexuality. It somehow kept me from being who I am, someone with a cheerful personality and an adventurous/resourceful soul, hidden behind a strong veil of shyness. It wasn't easy at all during all that time, I always stayed by myself, not wanting to meet anyone except my closest friends for the occasional hanging out. I'm 26 and still a student at my local university.
After all this thinking and dwelling on, I simply realized it was so stupid of me to put a brake on my own life. That bubble I had been living in HAD to burst.
A few days ago, I decided to come out to my two special friends. I had made such a big deal about it, trembling with emotion and fear but when I finally said those two words, it was like a huge weight had been lifted off me. Their reaction was so wonderfully sweet, they tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible and afterwards we started talking about men (they are two girls).
I don't know how my life is gonna be, at least I know I can finally be myself.
