Well. I've always known I like girls. I've always thought them to be so pretty. But I didn't know there was a word for it, and that it was different, till about 4th grade. The way I heard about "Lesbians" *Gasp!* wasn't too helpful. So I hid it and denied it, even from myself, for years. Eventually I admitted to myself I am a lesbian. I was like okay. I'll just keep this to myself and nobody will hate me. That of course can never work. So I slowly started coming out to people. My mom was the first person in my family. She was and is very accepting, and I'm lucky to have her. From then on I came out slowly to people here and there, only very close friends and family. This year, my best friend and I came out on National Coming Out day to everybody. I added everybody I knew onto my myspace, then wrote a letter in my blog to everybody coming out. My best friend did the same on his blog. It went over really well. Of course I lost some friends, but I gained more friends, and a lot of respect for doing it. Now I'm out to my family, friends, people who aren't friends but are just nosy, and the rest of the world. I'm currently madly in love with the girl of my dreams, and things couldn't be better <3
So thats my whole realizing, coming out, and after story<3
