some entries have been taken from various diaries of mine
The original opening to the closet
Within these pages you will find letters I have written to family members and friends that tell them of my sexuality, though I would never actually send them. It would be much easier, for myself at least, to be able to tell everyone through a letter or, better yet, a bulk email sent to everyone in my address book, but I know that would be a really bad idea. Writing the letters though, was actually quite a therapeutic process and I don�t think I am quite so worried now about how I will approach my loved ones. Some are still question marks in my mind, but I know what I want to say when I get up the nerves to do so.
Also in these pages are some things I have wondered in the wee hours of the night and decided to write about. I do my best thinking, my deepest thinking when the rest of the house has been asleep for hours and some love song is playing softly on the stereo beside me as I get myself lost in cyberspace and bridge the distance of the world with a click of the mouse. I have also included a page of quotes that I find inspirational and just plain wish I had thought of myself.
And this site would not be complete, as I am not complete, without my girlfriend. She has helped me in so many ways and areas of my life, most of which I�m sure she doesn�t know of. I am a different and better person since meeting her and wouldn�t know what to do with myself without her.
I�m sure I will be adding more to these pages as time goes by, including my coming out stories, so come on back and keep me company as I slowly pick the lock on my closet door and escape into the light of open lesbianism. However until then, I believe there are a few things that are �must haves� when in the closet, one being a computer with an internet connection and two being patience, not for others but for yourself. Though mine has worn thin a number of times, I�ve learned that this is something that takes time and even when I want to just blurt out that I�m gay while watching Will and Grace with my mom, I know that I have to wait for the right time for her and myself.
As you find your way through my closet confessional if you have any questions, comments, criticisms, or confessions of your own please sign my guestbook or email me. Fill my pages with your legacy, it�ll give me something to do as these walls start to close in on me. Thanks for stopping by.
Sincerely K., (just to keep a bit of uncertainty in case someone I know stops by!)
