So, I'm picking this blog thing back up. I'm thinking of doing another blog or just doing this one under the radar for a little bit and see if it sticks.
Last Thursday, I "came out." As a bunch of things:
- A divorced woman
- An apartment dweller
- A woman in therapy
- NOT a republican
- A bi-sexual
Ironically, the most important part of this was coming out
as a divorced person to my Facebook friends--as I hadn't mentioned it since I
left. I just was tired about NOT mentioning things related to all that on FB.
It became ridiculous.
I really thought that the world might implode when I pushed
"Publish" but, remarkably, it didn't. Instead I got comments of love
and support that would reduce any person to extreme humility. And I know the
last part of my coming out was more important to some, but for me it was the
bigger story--it was just about being myself, whatever that means. About
putting myself out there and seeing if I was still loved. And what I'm finding
is that I'm loved more, not less, for embracing that full humanity.
Here's the link to my post.
