Story
Honestly coming out never really ends, but coming out to my grandmother (which is the only one I really cared about) was kind of a spur of the moment thing. I had heard about a coming out day and that a lot of people come out on thanksgiving to their entire family at once. I thought I’d do something similar, but turns out I just did it kind of suddenly when my grandmother had asked me to rub her shoulders. I guess I had been thinking about how I hated hiding it for a while, I hadn’t made any plans but after she told me she still loved me she went off to bed and I felt a lot better. I’m still constantly trying to find myself of course, but I’m still glad I did it when I did, even if she’s probably forgotten at this point.
