So I came out a year ago. I'm celebrating with a cappuccino at the local coffeehouse. Thought I'd share my thoughts after a year of living the gay life. This is mainly for people stuck living straight. I lived that way most of my life other then my last 2 years of High School.
If I had it to do over I would not have run away from living and embracing my gayness. I lost out on so so much. I really miss that I did not get to date in my 20's. I missed that I think the most (and in my 30's 40's and 50's ) I know that I shouldn't but I really regret the last 40 years overall. Not all of it but I regret that I was not true to myself, to my true self. Of course thing were different way back in the 60's. I know if I was 20 years old today I would be out. I meet great gay guys now and it just kind of reinforces all the possible relationships I missed out on.
I do have a great boyfriend now and we are very happy together and are planning our future but I guess if you are on the fence I'd encourage you to be true to yourself and don't waste your life being someone you aren't and reach 60 years regretting your choices and everything you missed out on.
Hope that didn't sound preachy
