This Year, Christmas is Really Special

I just reviewed my entry from December 2009, and I must say, I’m pretty proud of myself.  This time last year, my main hope was that by now, present day, I’d be out and open about my relationship with Nikki.  When I wrote that post, I feared that I would never get the courage to […]

“We’ve had to eat beans!”

It’s been slightly over two months since I came out to my family.  It started out really rocky, but I believe things are gradually progressing upward. My extended family has been AWESOME.  Aunts, uncles, and cousins have offered me their homes, their ears (and sometimes their beer), and I have never felt so supported and […]

“I sent the damn email.”

I did it.  I really did it.  I didn’t think I could do it, but I did it.  I came out to my parents. This has been the hardest experience of my entire lifetime.  As a family, we’ve gone through several tragedies, but personally, this has been perhaps the most painful thing to happen to […]

Mom Reexamined

I was finally, for the first time in my out-to-myself-and-a-few-other-friends life (whew!), beginning to get up the courage to come out to my mother.  I feel like when I come out to my mom, then I can truly consider myself OUT.  And I want that so bad.  My best friend, who frequently chats with mom, […]

To the Wanderers

A good majority of the visits to this blog are people searching for things like, “Love God, love people” or “fulfill the law.”  It makes sense why Google would send them here; it is the title of my blog after all. If you are one of those searchers, you probably quickly figure out that this […]

Mom

So, last post I was all geared up and ready to come out to my mother.  I really thought it was gonna happen, honest.  But… it hasn’t happened yet, mostly out of fear of how my dad will react.  But even though my mother doesn’t officially know… she knows. Her asking my best friend.  Her […]

The Closet Door is Heavy

For the last year, I’ve ranted about how much I want to come out to my parents but how terrified I am of doing so.  Of course, my nervousness is not anything unique, as LGBT people everywhere deal with anxiety of coming out, especially to someone as close to you as your parents. This time […]

Goodbye 2009

Wow, it’s been half a year since I last updated!  I guess time flies when you’re having fun. And let me tell you, I’ve been having fun.  I haven’t found a job since my last post.  Nope.  I’ve been unemployed this whoooole time.  Which has been the source of much stress, but now I’m pretty […]

Cruisin’

I was a little angry when I wrote my last post.  Apologies for the anger, but it sure made me feel better! Anyway, I’m still unemployed, but I think I may have a job opportunity coming up soon.  I sure hope so, considering I move into my new house in approximately two months (which I […]

We’re IN your town

I found out yesterday that a guy who graduated from my college last year is gay.  YAY!  Now, I’m sure more than just him and me have been gay and graduated from there, but it is a rare occurance considering the very anti-gayness of my school.  When our state was trying to pass a “marriage […]
