Hey all,
Hows you?

As the blatantly obvious title suggests, this is me, coming out.

Now, at this stage, it's customary to give your story. I don't really have a story but I'll try my best. It happened gradually, so gradually that I didn't realise that it was happening. Until I woke up one day, with very mixed feelings and just generally thoroughly confused. It then snowballed and a scandal at school, 50000 tears and far too much pushing it away and 1000000000 cups of tea later, I finally felt ready to accept myself for who I am.

I came out to Frances first. She was amazing about it and helped me immensely through the initial process of coming out to my friends and family.

I'd never really understood why people said that coming out was scary, but now I think I get it. It isn't saying the words that's hard or scary, it's the idea that you'd lose someone you love because of it. When you don't give a fuck about the person you're coming out to, it's easy, but if you love and care about that person, and you don't want to lose them, it's terrifying!! I litterally took about 2 and a half months to pluck up the courage to tell my best friend.

I don't want to make this into a "big thing", it's not worth it. I just felt like it wouldn't be fair to not tell you guys.
