You do make a point, and I have to admit, I've always felt like I had a time in my life where I felt like I was dying on the inside, more specifically when I was married. I never really felt happy with him at all. Not just because of my orientation, but also because it was a very abusive relationship.
I really wish I could come out and know everything would be fine, but Im at quite a disadvantage. I live in a very rural area where rumours, whether or not they are true about you, can keep you from getting a job. And I am at the bottom of the economic totem pole so I have very few options if any. I want to get myself well established before I come completely out. Although I really do believe that some people have already pegged me for gay with my tomboy antics and boyish look. I think some would understand, but the majority would not.
I'm not in for any long-term commitments at the moment, but I want to start dating again and I want to know what it feels like to be in a good relationship again. Its been ages since I've really felt happy. There's this void that wants to be filled. I've filled it with family, Jesus, and meaningful studies towards my degree, but I still feel less than full.
