Story #2309

When I came out I wrote a message to share with close friends and family first via text while I was on vacation for a week. Soon after, I posted my message to facebook for everyone to see. It was easier for me to come out all at once than having to deal with coming out to each person in my life, plus doing it while I was away gave time for people to digest it before facing them. This way may not be right for everyone, but there was a ton of relief in pulling the band-aid off all at once, especially for someone like myself who isn’t the most emotionally forthcoming. I had some really great conversations with the people after I posted it, and have never felt better. (M/25)
