Like it says, I came out to my best friend a couple of days ago and it went great. She said she was with me %100 percent, and was happy if I was happy. I'm still kind of excited about it and wanted to share!! 8)

I have already come out to a few members of my family and another friend. But yeah, the first time was super hard. Now I'm just more nervous than anything. I think it does get a little easier once you know you have some support already behind ya. :)

That sounds real cool that you've managed to come out to some people in your lives! I haven't really come out to my family yet, but my friends have been really supportive and understanding of everything that I'm doing. The more you come out, the more people start asking the same questions and, often times, you gain clarity by answering those questions. Keep it up :D

coming out is a b... but once you have some positive reactions behind you it's a bit easier. Practice makes perfect, after all! ;) Good luck to you when you finally decide to come out to your family, Lexine!
