Essay?

[thyla23]

This is a little something I had to write. It has been so cathartic getting it out. It's an 'essay' of my acceptance of who I am, of my sexuality, it isn't intended to offend anyone.

It's been brought to my attention that I should warn for profanity, I think there's like 4 -5 swear words at most, it's not littered with them but if you don't want

It was brave of you to post this. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thank you!

I just had to get it out and it's funny to see how I kept nearly outing myself by accident.

(quick question, was this riddled with profanity because someone demanded that I should warn for it)

I had to reread because I didn't remember any- FTR, I saw two curse words. I don't consider cock or masturbation to be obscenity.

Same! But it was more sarcasm from me because the person was going on as if I had scared her for life!

I wasn't sure if I should reply there (lesbian) or here, so I'll just do it here. I really liked your piece. There were a lot of little moments where I felt I could have written it myself. Revealing your secret to a friend and finding it went through the rumor mill, parents constantly questioning while growing up, siblings figuring things out on their own, being confused because of superficial attraction to men. For awhile, I even convinced myself that the only reason I like looking at girls and prefer their companionship is because I wanted to be like them. Ohh, confused little Catholic me

Thanks, here is fine :D

I don't ever plan on coming out to my mum, she would be so dramatic.

Thankfully I have my dad, but even still I was freaking out about telling him! (Funnily enough he had came out to me three days before I came out to him!) He has been so understanding and so ok about it, but he probably understands a lot of what I'm going through.
