So my birthday's coming up this Sunday. I still haven't decided if I'm gonna hit the club or keep it intimate just with my friends, etc. Who knows. Christmas break from work this Thursday though, woo hoo!
I've been out of the closet for 7 years. It's been hard. Sometimes I wish I could go back in. Being born to homophobic parents was not my choice. There is freedom in knowing the truth though. There is freedom in knowing where you stand with those whom you love. Going from being their pride and joy to the one they picket against was not easy. Their rejection was the least of their sins but undoubtedly the most painful. But at this 7 year benchmark I let go of that pain. My heart is free to love whomever it chooses, even them.
