It's taken me, well a long time to get this far. Soe of oyu have gotten there ages ago. Others have still to get there. I never thought I would ever be saying this, but here goes:

I am, at last, comfortable, at least for the moment, with being a gay man.

My only regret is that I could not be comfortable with being a gay boy.

The "problem" with being comfortable is that I now find writing stories harder. They were born, you see, out of the great tension in my life. Perhaps I will get the ability back as I become even more at ease.

I'm happy for you, Timmy... Smile

It's good to know you're feeling at ease now, you deserve it.


Take care!

Regret is a tough companion. But keep in mind, it gets even better from where you are now.

Much love to you Timmy,

Kevin

I'm just a little weepy at the edges. I do read the words currently in my sig file, too. And they make me cry sometimes.

But I have attained comfort with who and what I am.
