So Much To Write About

I don't even know where to start. Well, I just had dinner with my best friend from middle and high school. He's gay too, and I knew this much but I just had not gotten around to coming out to him. So I finally did.

Two things about dinner:

1--when i feel weird around even my childhood best friend, then i feel REALLY weird.

2--there's no pretense around him. he knows me for who i am. thru and thru. no bells and whistles. he knows exactly who i am. its liberating and frightening to be around him.

we don't have so much in common anymore. we've both changed a lot, even though in some weird way we're still the same.

i'm keeping him as a friend. friends like him in my life are extreme rarities.
