Coming out

Coming Out is a personal journey for everyone. I wanted to share this. I also want to thank tim for his editing help. Thanks tim. I’m sure being around a lot of Great Writers in GA has caused this blog. 

 

Coming out 

The closet was my home,

it never judged me

The closet hid my loneliness

and was my refuge

The closet was my family

and my friend

The closet made me safe

it kept my secret

The closet knew I was Gay

 

One day it said it’s time to open up this door.

“Live your life with no regrets”

The closet said, “Those that care don’t matter and those that matter don’t care”

“I’ll always be here you will never be alone," the closet said.

“I'll be proud of you, until the end!

 

The closet had been my refuge; keeper of my secrets

It had always been my friend.

 

I also wanted to thank a few people in DiC for being there for me. @MacGreg @MichaelS36 @Mikiesboy (Big thanks)

tim I’m proud to call you and Michael Sir friends and you don’t know how free and happy I am right now. My only regret was I didn’t do it years ago. I have come to realize that everything will come at its own time. So this is my time and place.

Well done, rick.  Live your life.  Own who you are.  Anyone who can't handle the truth can't handle you.  Let those people fall away, and it will make room for those who are ready to accept you for who you are.

it was my time and I’m finally friends with that man in the mirror. Now if someone had told me how free I would be I would have called them insane but it really has been eye opening and I’m having fun and loving life. 

Now the weird thing if someone told me that I would write a blog and share my secrets. I would have ask what are they smoking. So I guess freedom comes expression.

so Wayne thanks for being there and I enjoy our friendship.
