I Came Out To My Mother.

Hey Ya'll,
Saturday afternoon, I came out to my mom and to my surprise, it went very well. A great weight has been lifted off of my shoulders and she told me that she still loves me, regardless of my orientation. Currently, I'm still in a state of shock at how gracefully I came out to my mother. When I say, "state of shock", I really mean it because when I was at work yesterday, my friend, Jesse asked me several times whether if I was okay or not. Apparently, he sensed it but I denied it. Then I told him, "Dude, I'm just not here today." Later, he asked me if there was anything in particular that's on my mind. I didn't answer, until later on thru text message. I told him that I came out to my mom and now that I did, I am so un-certain about my future.I was also afraid that Jesse was going to alienate our friendship. He has always been really good to me and it would've been terrible if he just went cold to me. Jesse is a good guy. I never expected to find a kindered spirit out of the big jawed, pimple faced, wide-eyed, muscular guy with the pony tail and stubby finger-tips. I always tease him about that and his sense of humor is what shines light on things that I normally take too seriously. When I texted him about being fearful of losing his friedship, he responded by saying, "No way, man. We're still friends. It won't be an issue at all." Then he sent another text saying, "It took me ten minutes to reply bc of my stubby fingertips." I just cracked up in laughter. I dig his sense of humor and it's always great to have him around. I'm quite happy that my sexuality isn't an issue within our friendship because I truly admire the way he lightens things up. Right now, it's still surreal to me that I had the courage to come out of the closet to my mother. - Dreamy-Eyez, out-

I hardly know you, but im happy for you, for finding some inner peace 🙂

Im happy for you Dreamy
I love reading your posts, btw.

i'm happy for you too, Dreamy-Eyez; it's good to know you have found such a great friend in Jesse..!

That's awesome, DE .. sounds like you are soooooooo loved by your mom & Jesse.

Fantastic news .. I'm really happy for you, too.

Peace 🙂

Hello Everyone,
Thank you so much. Thru this computer screen I can actually feel your happiness and support. This past Saturday was definetely a really "surreal" one, but now I am at peace with myself. I nolonger feel that inner conflict of being so "cut-off" in being myself with others. At my last job at the BP, all of my co-workers knew and they became dear friends to me. When I left that job in February, it was a bit difficult but I had to move on. At Papa Johns, I met Jesse. He is indeed a kindred spirit. I never wanted to tell him of my orientation, but somehow I knew he was going to figure it out eventually. Sagittarians are smart and not only that, but lately we've been growing into this friendship that I never saw coming. When I told him, it didn't phase him and he just spun the moment around by dishing out some humor. (That's always a plus.) My Gemini sister? She has been really supportive to. She hasn't spoke much, but she'll go in her room and bring out her collection of Cosmo magazines for us to read together. (Laughs.) Once again, thank you. I'll keep posting. -Dreamy-eyez, out.-

Freedom at last DE! Always remember that being you is the greatest gift that you can give to yourself and others - and, you cannot get rid of LOVE 😉

In-joy YOU!
