Not coming out, but not hiding it anymore
#4
RE: Not coming out, but not hiding it anymore
I don't feel excited, to be honest. I'm content and feel that it was the right thing to do. I'm satisfied. I'm scared, though. I mean, it's not like my family was excited when I came out as atheist, but at least I had my brother to back me up (he's atheist, too). The area where I live is full of traditional people who will probably disapprove. It wouldn't make me happy to stay in my place and let the other girl feel alone, though. She did the right thing, so it was only fair I did the same. Our work place is full of hard core Catholics and Christians. HARD CORE. So, I know what to expect. My family, on the other hand. They're going through a transformation from Christianity to sudden disbelief and deconversion. They are hurting already. Their world has been shaken. Here comes Ivy to shake it up even more. I'm not ready for that. Then again, I don't think I would every be ready anyway.
