I've had to make some hard choices in the past one month.
First i came out to my best friend who is straight and the worst homophobe ever. He really flipped and i had to give him time to come to term with me being gay.
Then, i resigned from my place of work. Ok for this i was kinda pushed. The boss kept changing the terms of work and everytime i requested for a letter of employment rid would become abusive and then threaten to suspend me without pay. I decided not to give her the pleasure and left with my pride intact.
I finally gathered enough courage to face my Dad since he found out i'm gay. I feared the worst but suprisingly i spent a week with him alone and it was one of the best time in my life. We talked about everything i've been facing and though he sometimes found it hard to understand or relate with me on some aspects, he is ok with most of my decisions. Yaey.
I'm feel drawn to getting into helping those in the community who are discriminated against like the CSWs, MSMs and HIV/AIDS Victims. I feel like this is what will give my life a meaning and i also can make a positive impact in people's lives.
WISH ME LUCK
You don't need luck!
