MY COMING OUT STORY

Coming out to Ryan

So here's part two. Thanks to whoever decided to waste their life reading my shitty story

So at this point it was October, national coming out day had passed, but I was finally ready. Or at least I thought I was. So anyway I took the bus home on Friday, may 21st. (Yes this is the date in my bio. For this reason) I had been typing up and erasing a coming out speech in the notes section of my phone all day. And then I copied it into the box in iMessage just to see how it would look and read through it again.

But then for some reason I decided to do it. I finished reading through and hit send. Then I stuck my phone under my leg and tried not to cry. My heart was pounding. Obviously I knew he would be supportive but for some reason I was still scared shitless.

About two minutes later, my phone buzzed and I pulled it out, literally shaking. Of course he was nothing but kind. We chatted on the bus, and he was so nice, I was so relieved that I actually started crying right there.

Then eventually I got home, and the enormity of what I had done hit me. I still wasn't sure if I was actually bi. He would hate me if I took it back. It was a super dreary day. And I cried. Because I was scared. Because I didn't know what to do.

But eventually Ryan calmed me down. We texted until my parents got home. And I fully had no intention of telling anyone else. I had every intention of never coming out to anyone. And telling Ryan it had been a mistake. But I didn't.

So yeah that's the whole story of how I came out to Ryan. He continues to be nothing but supportive and my best friend. I hope everyone can find a Ryan someday
