Point of Acceptance

[The Batman]

Right now I feel like I'm tired of chasing what the ideal family is and I'm ready to work on my happiness and build a relationship with someone I can love and will love me back. In other words I think I'm ready to accept that I'm gay. I think that all that stuff with my ex was me trying to force myself to be straight so I won't disappoint anyone, but now I want the world to know I'm gay.

I am at the point where you are, but I don't feel the need to let the world know I am gay. I just try and consider it an insignificant part of who I am.

Well, whatever you are, Thomas, whoever is lucky enough to refer to you as their 'significant other' is very lucky, indeed.

I think there's so much more to who you are than your sexuality, it's just one piece of the puzzle. I think during puberty when there's such an intensity to things sexual, that the whole issue becomes overblown. Now, as you get into all those other parts of who you are and develop them, you'll gain a different perspective on your sexuality.

College is an awesome experience, it's the perfect environment to work on those other parts. At the same time, you'll be exposed to a lot of very different social experiences which will further clarify all this for you, and help you find that lucky soul.

Your sexuality is like your nose. It's just a part of who you are, and like everyone else, it's in the same place, it works the same, even if it's a bit different.

I think that is noble of you. So many people have a difficulty dealing with this issue. Me included. Hopefully I can channel some of your energy. Thanks and congrats.

I agree with Ant. Your sexuality is just a small part of who you are. I don't think there is any reason to be ashamed of it, but not everyone needs to know. You knowing yourself is the most important thing. I'm glad you've accepted yourself...I want to have a happy Thomas around these parts :P. Good luck in finding a relationship, bud. :)

And its hard to see your own.
Even if sometimes its apparent what yours looks like to others, you have to look into the mirror before you know for sure what yours is like.

Anyways, Thomas, Im glad you are accepting your sexuality.
To me, ones sexuality shouldn't be such a big deal; and it really isn't, like Sam says, its only a little part of you.
People put too much pressure on being straight, and it can really drive some people crazy.

I hope you find someone special ;)

OMG! See?! THAT'S what I mean, Nick, the way you do that! Simply brilliant!

When I put that I want the world to know I meant more of I'm not going to hide it and if asked I would admit it. Thanks for the support guys. :D
