I've never actually visited this website before but was reading these comments and felt I had to make an account to respond to yours, even though quite a lot of time has passed since you posted this. I, like you, am a gay male, and I know how much it hurts to have to hide from your loved ones. It's indescribable to anyone who's not gone through it, but the fear is so great that being open (something you want more than anything else to be with people so important to you) could destroy everything, even their love for you. And while you know that this may not be true (indeed, it likely isn't), nothing can make you feel differently. It's a desperately crushing feeling. Believe me, that so many of us have cried ourselves to sleep like you have; me included. But I promise you, from the bottom of my heart and as sincerely as anyone ever could, that you will be loved. Coming out is not as painful as you fear, and while I can't guarantee that it will be easy - it hasn't been plain-sailing for me with a very religious family - but you will come through the other side much stronger, and there will be much less damage than you fear. But that's not all I mean. I see so much of myself, and such desire for love in your message (and in you) that I really hope you will listen to me, because you need not feel alone. There are so many people out there who will see it in you too, and who will love you if you only let them. DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE, because it's all out there for you. And you will be happy. You may not believe it when I, a total stranger, tell you, but believe me if about nothing else, that one day soon you WILL believe it. Because it will happen, and then you will have no more doubts. I don't want the world (or even other people like myself) to lose anybody like you, when you will make someone else happy too. Be strong, and know that you are not alone, not really, and that you will be happier than you can now even imagine. I don't even know how to end this, but I'm a bit choked just thinking about it all. Wherever you are, I wish you all the happiness in the world. |
