reflections

SO for my Sex and Gender class I had to write a 5 page research paper on a topic related to gender, sexual identity or Orientation. I decided to do mine on "Coming Out". I've never written a paper on such a deep topic like this before. As I was writing it, I began to recall my own experience coming out and how significant that was for me. I guess up until now I'd never really though that deeply about what I went through 2 1/2-3 years ago. I was 16 and sooo different from who and what I am now. I was a Catpillar that made it's cocoon and came out a butterfly. I also wonder how different my life would be now had I come out a lot earlier or even a lot later. But it was an interesting writing expereince.
