Who I am

Wow, It has been a while since I wrote on this particular blog. I was really busy with developing a ACTUAL LIFE that I have COMPLETE control of. The reason I am trying to "break free" is that, my parents would be described as deeply Conservative whilst I would describe myself as a Radical Liberal.. I feel that I cannot adhere to my parents' beliefs for obvious reasons. I am empowered enough to be actually declare myself as Openly gay. I am not afraid to embrace who I am. I do not care for what other people think of Gays. I follow my own heart and few advices from trusted sources.. Capsice? I went through an extremely tough process that nearly tore me up and made me consider taking my own life several times. but thanks to few people who are close to me, I am past that tough and emotional phrase. As a result of my friends who worked awfully hard and sacrificed a lot for my sake, I am now, a empowered individual who is not afraid of what I may face out there in the world, because I know I have many friends who can help me conquer the horrible things. Together We can empower! More on the Deaf Prism Experience, coming up!

Coming Out

I have had several experiences, both good and bad of Coming Out of the Closet. I still remember the very first time I came out of the closet. It was to a trusted friend who encouraged me to be honest with myself. When I first came out. I had mixed feelings but as I finally outed myself to him, I begun feeling empowered. I decided to set a goal, the goal was to be completely out. I knew I was looking at several obstacles but I knew I could overcome them. I decided to come out to several groups before actually coming out to my family.
I came out to several close friends and classmates who accepted me as who I was. I felt even more empowered and confident in my identity. I then came out to my teachers who accepted me as I was. Some of them even offered advice to be confident in myself. I was prepared to come out to my family.
When the time came, I decided to tell my mom and her family because I felt closer to her than my father. I came out to them, there was some tension but they eventually accepted me as I was. However, my Father and his family was the completely opposite, they blasted it. I decided that I could not convince them to accept me as I am, I decided to leave it for a while. I just wish I could hear " You are my son, no matter who you are" Gay or not Gay, you are welcome.
