Coming Out: eck24's Story by #dapride:icondapride:





The first one I told.

I did go out a couple of times to a gay club and finally knew for sure that I preferred guys above girls. But I didn’t know how to tell my best friend the “news”. A straight friend I did go out with a friend I did go on vacation with.

At work I gave him a couple of hints on msn. We were talking about up coming weekend on what to do and where to go. He made a suggestion about going to a club where nice people were. I said that it was not my kind of people. He asked me what do you mean. I told him that some people or just not meant for me. He still didn’t understand anything about it. And I told him to let it go.

I almost cried and went out the door for a smoke. I cried and while I’m crying I didn’t give a sh.. about it anymore and told myself he has the right to be the first one to know. I took my phone out of my pocket and send him a sms. “I prefer guys above girls that’s what wrong. I’m afraid to tell you this because I don’t want to loose you as a friend”.

I did go back to my computer and waited. I asked him on msn if he received my sms. And he did. “I wouldn’t worry about that. If you have the need to talk about just give me a call.” Immediately I burst into tears. He asked me if we should call now. And I walked out the door again for a smoke. On the phone he told me again not to worry about it and he said we live in 2005. I know people who are gay and I’m ok with that. I feel bad because you  are crying about it and that you couldn’t tell me this sooner. We talked about it for an hour. I felt so relieved.

the droning ominous voice still now pierces me through
one day no doubt, no doubt, no doubt it will play in my heart
and leave its deep mark.
-just laugh and jab at me till I fall apart.-

Hurry up! Hurry up! Wrist-Cut show

You have a really great friend

I love the things I draw, but I hate it when I try to draw. I need to wait until my ideas sit so long they're screaming as loud as they can for me to let them out, then I let them slowly ooooooooooze out onto the paper.

Mmmm, ooozy idea paper.

:heart: You're lucky :hug:

Hear a tune beneath confusion, make sense of something wrong,
Believe in truth as strong as lies, you shall remain alone,
My very soul is in this tune, my heart within my song,
And never can you steal that, for my voice is all my own.


:heart:

You have a really sweet friend. :hug:

That is a really great friend. It can be hardest to tell close friends... but sometimes they just know... even before you are sure... lol... some of my friends did and that made it easier... Glad it went well!
