Its Okay To Be Gay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hlCEIUATzg&feature=youtube_gdata_player - Ellen Page

I don't often openly talk about my sexuality, but this is so true. I am incredibly lucky to have such amazing and supportive family and friends who have made me comfortable enough to be able to be myself. It took me a long time to be able to feel comfortable to feel that I could be openly gay, all because of being too aware of how other people perceive you and how they can treat you and make you feel.

Being able to love and be loved by another person is an incredible experience regardless of whether they are the same sex as you and no one should feel ashamed of this. I think that everyone should be able to experience loving another person and being loved by another person without feeling as though they should hide their feelings. Everyone should feel comfortable enough to be able to express their love for another person without feeling as though its wrong.

I am so lucky to have my girlfriend - one of the most kind, caring, supportive and loving people I know. I'm even luckier to be able to not feel the need to hide our relationship as I know so many people do. Its incredible to know that my girlfriend is my best friend, my present and future.

I hope that it continues to get easier for people to 'come out' as I know for so many people this is such a difficult step and so many people as so apprehensive of how their families and friends will react. Not only this but I hope that people continue to be supportive of those who aren't straight and fit the 'norm' as its that support that makes people feel as though they can be themselves and not hide their true self and be someone that their not.  Particularly as each person has so much to give no one should feel the need to hide themselves.

I hope that others can see as I have learnt that its okay to be gay and that you don't need to pretend to be someone you're not.

Poem: How do you know?

How do you know when to let go
Of everything you have always known
The things that made you smile
Of the people that made your life worthwhile

How do you know when to set yourself free
So that you can be all that you know you should be
To follow the dreams you long to chase
The ones that will take you to a brand new place

How do you know when the one you lone isn't the one you need anymore
Is it time to walk out of the door
Or do you give it one shot
And give it all you've got

Update

I haven’t been able to post any poems for the past few days as typing really hurts.

Yesterday morning my knee gave way whilst I was crossing a fairly busy road which meant I ended up falling over and landing really heavily on my right hand (luckily I’m left handed!) – Now it’s all bruised and sprained which has meant I have to keep it strapped up, which isn’t very fun! As soon as it’s a little bit better I will be able to get all the poems I’ve been writing up here.

Also tomorrow I should be taking delivery of my new phone which  should in theory mean I am able to update this blog even when I’m not in front of my laptop!

Thanks for staying with me!
