Talking to an old friend from school - for the first time in YEARS - and hearing how happy she is with her girlfriend ... after many years of hardship and struggle, she's finally found happiness and contentment. (I LOVED just sitting there listening to her sweet southern drawl as she told me stories of her beautiful family!... her accent soothed my homesickness.)

Shortly there-after... talking to a dear, long-time friend, her making the time for me even when her day was extremely busy...me asking very difficult, intimate, sincere questions about my ID and a few other hard-to-talk-about subjects ... and her comforting and confirming that I am NOT "defective" or less of a lesbian because I don't like certain things...wish I could elaborate more, but I left that conversation with a weight lifted off my shoulders.
