The day that woke me up
“The reason he never flirts back is because he’s gay,” those
words shock my world, I’d just found out that my crush is gay- jolly fun! I
talked to him a little briefly about his experience and how he’d found out,
throughout the conversation I’d realised how nervous he was of people over
hearing, this really surprised me, as he was always so bold and confident, and
now here he was, admitting something he should be proud to cherish, something
he should want to share with me, in a way that put across that we was ashamed,
to have such feelings. It was then that I realised the following
1) People
were afraid to share such feelings, because of what a unexpected society we
lived in, because of how we’d divided ourselves into very isolating friendship
groups, because we were scared to be different.
2) Sharing
your …. with others should be a celebration, something others help you to
embrace and be proud of, in later life wouldn’t it suck to look back onto your
teenage years and this “ I was a fool,
not to have the confidence to share everything with others, coming out would
have been easier ages ago”
I felt so sorry for him, I wanted to cry with him and for
him, it was dreadful, it isn’t correct that someone cannot trust their closest
ones, my heart reaches out to him everyday as well as everyone else who goes
through his pain.
So for the rest of this week I challenge all of you, to say
hello to that person you know nothing about, who knows maybe you’ll earn
another shoulder to cry on?
