Hell has frozen over!
I am feeling kind of numb right now. I am feeling horrified, and at the same time relived. And I guess I’m feeling kind of proud.
Why the conflicting emotions? Because I just came out to my sister. My dirty little secret is out. The moment that every gay person things about, agonizes about, has dreams and nightmares about happened last year when she broke up with her boyfriend and I gave her advice via e-mail about how I handled a similar experience with my ex-boyfriend. The ironic/funny/sad part is, I didn’t realize what I had told her until she e-mailed me today.
How the fuck did I let it slip to her that I am gay?! I guess it is a testament to the fact that our relationship has changed. I have never been close to my biological family. In fact, I have close friends that I consider family. And yes, sometimes, they are more family than my real family. Somehow, in the last year, that all changed between my sister and I. We are closer than we ever have been.
My sister seems to be taking it well, and I hope that she really is taking it well. I’ll have to call her on Monday to talk to her. I’m freaking out, but I’m calm too. I feel like Bree in Desperate Housewives!
I feel relieved to finally come out of the closet to one family member, but well, I don’t know what to expect in the future. I mean, just last week, my mom gave me the I want grandkids and you are the last of the family line speech.
Well, I am proud of myself, I am proud of my sister, and I hope to God that this doesn’t bite me in the ass later!
