The earth shattering decision
(This is an article from my previous website)
Well, it's been roughly a year since I paused to reflect and made the
earth-shattering decision to "come out of the closet", so to speak . .
.
And I think things have gone well. The vast majority of my
closer friends know, and some of the not-as-close friends know as well.
I haven't yet seen one negative reaction that I know of, at least, not
to my face. Of course, that doesn't mean there isn't one.
The girls are, on the whole, quite enthusiastic and encouraging. I
think they find it novel and cool and they're always smiling about it.
The guys are, on the whole, not as excited, but generally lukewarm (or
maybe it's the silly "guys aren't supposed to express their emotions"
syndrome). I'm not really bothered because the girls' reactions are
what's important, because they are the ones I want to get close to
anyway.
Oh, and it makes for quite interesting conversational topics.
I've learnt enough over the year to be able to go out (with my own makeup!), and indeed, I have gone out a few times.
The most daring being to a (mainstream) nightclub where there were many not-so-close friends and acquaintances.
My gosh that was sooo scary! Christmas looks to be another swag of opportunities to dress up and hang around girls again.
Yep, it's been one hell of a year!
