Coming out stories...
I hate these. I didn't "come out" until way, way after college. Thankfully, there was a lot of therapy that got me over the whole, "I have wasted so many years living a lie" thing and I live my life open and honestly...sometimes aggressively so. That being said, there's a whole part of my life that's gone now. I don't remember chunks of my time in college or some great friends.
That was brought home when I got a friend request on MySpace from someone. They were the same age as me and went to my school, but I couldn't place them for the life of me. I sent him an email and said, "Refresh my memory." The response was humiliating, "You are first middle last name, you lived in X apartment building, you introduced me and my wife and stood up with me at our wedding."
Ouch. I wonder what all I've forgotten? In my defense, he hasn't aged well. When I saw the wedding photo I totally remembered.
So, I accepted the request and we've emailed. I had to come out all over again. It's been a long time since I've had to do that...I still felt a little butterfly in the stomach to type the words to someone from that part of my life, "I'm gay and FABULOUS!!!"
