FTM: A Tricky Life

It Happened

So I came out and I guess you could say everything went "well." I mean everyone accepted me but it wasn't until after I started my poem that I realized I wasn't ready.

People high fived me and congratulated me but I just felt stressed and anxious.

I'm still not ready and now everyone at school knows. They may or may not spread the information to karate, but I feel stuck. I told my parents and they're super supportive. I don't want my karate friends to find out. They can't.

So now I'm in the bathroom, relapsing on self harm, crying my eyes out, regretting coming out. I should've waited until I knew for sure I was ready.

Moral of the story: don't come out until you're damn ready.
