That's exactly how it is feeling at the moment. A weight has been lifted off my shoulders that I've been carrying around for so long...its just like AHHHH...a sense of total freedom, comfort, and security.  |

I am 40 and was in complete denial up until last summer...actively trying to be straight and date women, but always with disasterous results. Then I met my current partner. We've been dating for 8 months now and are happy as can be. I never realized how great life can be and now wonder I waited so long!
Last weekend I took my mom out to dinner and told her...it was NO surprise. She was so cool about it...I then told my sisters...both were amazing. Then my cousins (who are basically like my sisters as well), and they were truly awesome about it. Now word is spreading and so far have heard nothing but positive vibes. Still waiting for some fall-out, but so far happy to say i have not experienced any bad attitiudes. I am not a big name over here in the org, but do post my thoughts on Prince songs from time to time and talk to some of you once in awhile...so wanted to let y'all know! I am so, so happy to hear that your family has been so positive and warm. 
I still, in this day and age, hear so many heart-rending stories about the opposite. | |

Congrats, bud. This is a very beautiful comment and got me thinking. There are so many truths I wish I had shown to my mother when she was alive and just dealt with her reaction. There came a time when the risk of remaining tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin. | |
