It Happened
So guys, a life changer just took place for me at 3:54 AM on February 10, 2013 as I just poured my soul to my grandmother by writing an email telling her that I am gay. I am literally shaking as I'm typing this, the butterflies wreaking havoc on my stomach knowing that I just took a step that I never thought I would before. I did it. I told her I was gay, I told her the trouble I've gone through and continue to go through, and I just laid it all on the line, taking the biggest risk I ever have in my entire life. I asked her not to call me, but to email me back if she wanted to reply back, but I also asked her to keep this between us for now. I'm so nervous as to how she will react when she reads this email tomorrow morning, and I let her know that I understood if she didn't understand my situation right away. I also told her that it's okay is she wants nothing to do with me from now on. Anyway guys, and this is a bit ironic considering I usually write a ton about so little, but I'm going to go ahead and wrap this up for now to get some sleep, even though I have so much to say and share. I'll let you guys know how everything goes, and I can't believe I finally came out to somebody.

Proud of you, man. Takes a lot of courage. Keep us posted on how things go, and know we're here if you need anyone to talk to.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tim. Yeah, I've been on a roller coaster of emotions today, and still have not had the courage to check my email yet to see how she responded. I'll probably blog in more detail later today or maybe tomorrow. I'll actually be over at my grandma's house on Tuesday, so it's going to be interesting and a little bit awkward to see how things go.
