What a week. A few days ago I moved into my own place. I've gone from a five bedroom house with four roommates to a one bedroom apartment by myself...I love it. The place is still a mess with boxes and papers all over, but it is my mess so it's cool. And bigger news than that, I came out to three friends on saturday night. And it went really well. Wanna hear the story?? Sure you do.

So saturday I went back to my hometown with a friend and four of us went out for supper. We were talking and they kept trying to think of something to do after we ate, so I finally said that I wanted to talk to them and can we go to a park. We ended up going to an elementary school playground. Before I actually told them they asked a few questions, like if this was a game what category would my news fit under. For lack of a better idea I just said the game of life. That was too broad for them so one asked if it was relationships, and I said that's part of it. After a few more questions and me checking if they were sure they wanted to be told as a group cause their reaction could be different, I just told them.

It was amazing how easy the words came out. They were silent at first but then one said it's fine, another it doesn't matter and the last it's my choice so they all took it well. They asked how long I've known and if I have a girlfriend, so I answered both. We didn't talk tonnes about it, but they can talk to me later if they want, they know I am open to that. And before I told them two were already thinking that's what I was trying to say because of my life and relationship answers. And one had suspected before but didn't have anything to go on to know for sure.

After we went to the donut shop and talked about other stuff for a few hours acting like we always do so I don't think I have any worries about them. They're still my friends and I think they will stay that way. As for my other friends that know about me I think I was just being paranoid. And if not then it hasn't changed so much that there is any thought that out friendships won't last. When I was thinking that I was having a bad day.

Hopefully, everyone I have told and will tell won't let this change anything. I am still totally unsure of how I will approach my mom with the news, that will come though...soon I hope.

Well I got lots of unpacking left to do. So take care and just remember that with each bad time there are three good times...thanks L.
