Confessions Are Good For The Soul

[katsarecool]

I confess that I am bewildered and hurt that my 16 yr old Newly Recruted Republican posted something hurtful and rude about my political stance on FB. When I sent him a private message he justified it by saying he had a right to do that considering in a little more than a year he will be able to vote. Then he Unfriended me. Just like his father did four months ago for the same reason.

I confess that a few other family members (also Republicans) feel that they also have a right to post on my wall telling me and my friends what to think, what do do and how to feel.

I confess I have never done that ever. I rarely talk politics at family gatherings either as I feel it is inappropriate and can cause problems.

I confess life is difficult for a progressive, fiscally conservative Democrat living in a Red State with a mostly hardcore Republican family.

I confess sometimes I give serious thought to divorcing the entire lot of them. They do not participate in my life much anymore. Coming out was the start of this long nightmare.

I do confess this has saddened me while at the same time hardened my resolved to not let anyone tell me to shut up.

I must confess,

Even though your blood family won't accept you for you, you have a wonderful extended gay family!

Hugs,

I confess that.....

- had a 4 hour conversation with my Mom and I worry about her more than she'll ever know. I'm glad she is doing baby steps better everyday.

- I woke up far too early this morning.

- I feel like I've made a lot of progress in life. One day at a time right?

- I would like to bungee jump

- I need a girls night out with some bffs. Soon!

i confess -

- i'm very content with this journey i'm on..
- i'm no where near ready to be anything but a friend to people - and that's feels fine because i need to be true to myself right now...and plus i can be a kickass friend =)
- i'm a criminal minds & CSI junkie!
- i woke up this morning singin' & dancin' and ready to take on the day..
- i am craving s k i t t l e s in the masses!
