subject Watch out! HUGE surprise coming. WHO WOULD OF EVER GUESSED!
I'M GAY!.....duh.
I know us Ruppels are not very into sharing our personal lives or talking about our feelings or emotions. Hell, some of us may never know why we have no contact with a whole side of the family. I know nothing about either of my parents personal lives, what they were like growing up. What there family was like.... personal struggles, the ups the downs, and all that shit. its just not who we are as people. I have lived most of my post-Saginaw life this very same way. only telling people what they needed to know and nothing more. Rarely opening up to anyone. and recently i decided i didn't want to live like that anymore. i don't want to live only including certain people in certain aspects of my life. My life just cant be devided up like that anymore. i am a whole package. love it or leave it.
This announcement shouldn't fall under the heading of a huge surprise to anyone. I mean come on. who didn't know this. who hasn't known this for YEARS. i mean anyone who has known me my entire life would be able to see it. The barbies with lindsay, the dance classes, the female friends, the ability to out dress, out wit, and out shine anyone in a 50-mile radius. It's ingrained in me. i have always known it, from as early as i can remember. and so has everyone eles. i figured it was just another unspoken sub-plot to the Ruppel story.
But in all honesty i feel like being gay is one of the least interesting parts of my life. maybe that's why i've waited so long to clear the air. I am so much more then just a cliche fag. that's just not my bag.
I hope this doesn't effect my relationships in anyway. i'm still the exact same person i was before you sat down to read this email. i know its not going to send shock waves through anyone's day. except maybe mike's, but really who cares what he thinks.
HAVE A NICE DAY.
JUSTIN.
