When in your life have you felt most alone?
Finally one that’s easy to answer. Well, it’s easy, but it’s hard cause it was a pretty scary time in my life.
When I first started figuring out I was a lesbian. I mean, yeah there was Janice and her friends. But I was only getting to know them. I didn’t have a clue how my parents would react, and that terrified me. I mean, we’ve all heard about and probably known people who were kicked out of their houses simply because of who they are. And I didn’t know what my friends would do.
I was so terrified of being left alone, I isolated myself until I was pretty much alone.
Thank God my mom realized something wasn’t right with me and talked with me about what was wrong. I don’t know where I got the courage to tell her, but she was amazing. Dad’s still getting used to the idea, but we’re making progress.
But those first months… I don’t remember ever feeling so alone as I did then. Regardless of who I was with.
