If it weren’t for that decision, I would be a completely different person today. I would be miserable, this blog wouldn’t exist and a whole slew of negative emotions would still be torturing my mind.
This post goes out to every person who is still struggling in the closet, searching for their identities. Coming out of the closet is not something you should have to figure out on your own. Don’t ever feel like you can’t ask someone for help. No one said coming out was easy, but it will be the most beneficial decision to your happiness. But one thing I can promise you is that you’ll feel FREE.
I can’t believe it’s already been two years!
Thank you Ross.
I'm still figuring out what that looks like, if I can even come out. It's still confusing, I still don't know what to do. Thanks for the words of wisdom though.

I don't know if I'll ever come out to anybody I know right now. The person I'd tell is my best friend, but she's so judgmental (I talk about her a lot on my blog) that I don't know how she would react. We'll see. That's a problem for future me.

ReplyDeleteAGD: Came across this blog -- he's a comic/cartoon artist who ended up building a big following on the internet and now sells a lot of his cartoons and merchandise online -- maybe you can follow this path for your own artwork?

I just saw this post, but I have to say I agree with it totally. Two weeks ago I came out to my own brother. I'm 33 and just now coming to terms with my sexuality. I felt so much better about myself though after I'd done it. To him it was no big deal. He even said that all he cared about was that I was happy. I'm still working on coming out to other people, but just telling him has lifted so much weight off of me and made me feel so much more at ease with myself. I'm not saying that everyone's coming out goes so well, but if you are in a stable place in your life where you're not relying on other people for support it does make the possibility that it will go bad a little less scary.
