You'd think that after so many years of hiding in the dark, I would be afraid of coming out. I'm not. I'm just afraid of doing it alone, and then being even more alone afterwards. I need some one to hold my hand and give me the support that I need. After five years I have finally found that person. So caring and compassionate, a dream come true. Now I can truly face that world without all the fear. I feel so much joy, and the shame that I felt disappears. No longer do I have to lie, there are no more secrets. All that is left now is the truth. The truth about me. |
