Finally, I can breathe a little more...

Do you ever do something that makes you feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders? Do you ever do something that makes it easier to breathe? Today, I seem to be able to breathe somewhat easier. I seem to feel better about myself and more true to myself. It's amazing how being true to yourself and sharing yourself with the people you love can be so unbelievably scary at times. But it's just how it is and it's something I've dealt with for quite sometime now....My family finally knows about my sexuality. And I say that with a huge sigh of relief. I cannot begin to explain how amazing I feel and how so very grateful I am for their continue love and support. They make me very proud to be their daughter and sister. It's times like these that I look at my family with more love and respect than I have ever realized. They love me for all that I am and for everything that I'm not as well. I attribute much of who I am, my strength, and my sense of self to them. I know that I will continue to have challenges regarding everything that makes up me, but I also understand that I have the love and support of my family and friends and honestly, it makes those hard times seem a lot more bearable. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
