Here is Part 2. Enjoy!

That day, as soon as my parents came back from work; I came out to them. I told them how I was having doubts at first and later realized I couldn't keep ignoring these feelings. I also told them about my relationship with my friend who I loved in a "sisterly way". I was numb after what happened with my girlfriend but there was still fear. Fear that was only caused because of my mother, one of the most judgemental people I know. I can't blame her though, she was raised this way and it's hard to believe in things that were always marked as wrong. My dad has always been pretty chill about most things. Now back to what their reactions were. My mother seemed a little bit shocked but she smiled anyway. I was about to question her (or add something idk I kinda forgot what I was doing) when she suddenly hugged me. I was so suprised but happy at the same time. She told me I had her total support and when it came to my dad, all he could do was agree. My mother did nag me on how she still wanted grandkids though. Now all that I can really say to people who haven't came out yet is that you shouldn't be afraid. Easier said than done I know but you have to realize that it is YOUR life. You can't let others put limits on your future and happiness. Trust me when I say you won't be happy unless you accept who you truly love. It's a hard path, some harder for others but it's a path we all take. We're basically all a big family. Feel free to dm me if any of you need advice. Happiness is a hard thing to gain and keep, and the only one who can take the first step is you. Much love to all you beautiful people <3
