When I came out to my sister (despite having it all planned out for years) I couldn’t bring myself to say it & broke down twice. After finally building the courage to say, she simply replied, “Oh, I’ve always known! It would be just like you telling me *points to paper* that this is paper, water wet, etc.” She told me that even if this was news, nothing would change. Just like that, years of confusion, stress & anxiety eased…and a weight lifted. I think I’ll sleep really well tonight for the first time in a while.
