The Odd One

Dreams. Every little child, teenager, and adult has them. But what is the right dream? Every little girls believes that she will grow up, finish college, meet her prince charming, get married and live happily ever after. Just like in all the great fairytales that have been passed down through generations for hundreds of years. It's the perfect life. Now my dream was a little different than all of the little girls' that lived on my block. I knew that I was going to grow up and get a job, but I never felt the desire to meet a prince charming. That was not my plan at all, I didn't want to think about what my life would be like with a prince. I always wanted a princess, one that I could call mine, one that I could nuture through the darkest days. Yeah, that's me, the odd one of the community. Not just any odd one though; I am the odd lesbian.

I was sitting there, with my head held high. I was ready to say the most important words of my whole entire life. I had to make sure that I was ready to make this step. I had to say the words the right way or my life would change forever. These words can change your life, or make it better. I'm hoping that after today I will be as free as I ever dreamt of.

Two couches, three antique lamps, one dark, gloomy desk and two nervously patient parents occupied the small little living room, that was the social area of the guest house. Everyone did evrything in this space. It was the main reason I wanted to talk to my parents here, a place where they feel safe, and a place I call my home. I feel like I can do anything in this house. That is why I chose this place, it's the right environment to come out to my parents.

How to start the conversation is kind of tricky. I don't wanna just come out and say it, because then it would be like I am unsure of myself, which I definitely am not. I don't wanna blurt it out but I also don't wanna take too long to say it cause then I will chicken out.

I am not the type to chicken out.

Hello,
I started writing this a long time ago. I have no idea where I was going to go with it, but I know where I will go with it now. I am publishing the first part, just to see if people will like it. If so, I will add onto it. I really hope some people like it, I know it's not much, but it is a start.
