The Gay Lord of Freestyle
Ok, we always hear , "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
So just when did you grow up?
Some people think turing 18 or 21 is growing up. Or getting married, or having a child, or buying your first house. Moving into your own place.....
Some people never grow up.
Some people have a tragedy occur that makes them grow up earlier.......
So think about it and post here, when did you grow up?
I did very little growing as a person during years 1-27, which most people would agree are years of change.
I feel that it wasn't until New Year's Eve, 15 days before my 28th birthday, that I grew up.
That was the night that I came out to my friends, and told them I was gay.
It was also the night that started me down a new path. I became more positive, less bitter and angry. More focused on myself. I started to allow myself to move on from the past which haunted me, and move forward.
I'm still growing. I'm moving in a more positive direction, both physically, and mentally. I'm realizing that I am a good person. That I deserve respect and love, and that the misguided people from my past didn't know what they were saying when they abused me. I've learned to let most of it go, and move on, allowing me to develope as a person. I've also come to accept that the ish I was dealt in the past, helped me become the person I am now.
So....now that I'm off my soapbox....lol...who else wants to share? Let's see some stories, and find out more about each other......
