      Twenty years ago this weekend, I came out to my mom. I was afraid to tell her, so I let her read a paper I wrote for English class about it.

      Twenty years later, I can hardly imagine that world: My sexuality is as accepted with my family as my left-handedness is: a nonissue.

      That coming out, tho, taught me the value of honesty w my mom. Many other life ~happenings~ since have been made easier bc of that weekend.

      Dealing w mental health concerns, career issues, sobriety — all easier bc I learned at 18 how much better being honest w my mom made things.

      Not everyone is so lucky — I know that — and for that I truly am grateful. ... But, finding someone to whom you can be honest is key.

      The 20 years since I came out to my mom, which preceded the start of my first relationship w a guy by days, has been an adventure.

      There have been amazing ups that many of you have seen and some have shared with me — but there also have been a lot of shitty times.

      (Those, too, have been shared with some of you, for better or worse.) It's been a life of trial and error, as I've learned my limits.

      I cannot drink, for example. It stopped working for me at some point along the line, and I and the world are better now when I don't drink.

          I get depressed at times (less often than before, but still), and I need to let myself slow down — so I withdraw a bit to let it happen.

          And, more broadly, I still screw things up on a daily basis. But, I've learned a lot over the past 20 years since I left home for college.

          And, two of the most important things I've learned are that I'm always going to screw up (bc I'm a person) — and that I need other people.

          Learning those two things, as simple as they might seem, took more than 15 years to really ~get~ them. Yet, once I did, things got better.

          I am able to appreciate my imperfections, for one. I am able to appreciate others in spite of (or even because of) their imperfections, too.

          Tomorrow, I'll be headed back to DC, where there are many other things for which I am grateful. ... But, tonight, this is perfect.

          I show gratitude bc I am grateful — & bc it reminds me of all of the reasons I have to be grateful. Tonight, I'm overwhelmed w gratitude.

          A perfect way to end Thanksgiving, I'd say. Hope y'all had wonderful days as well. ... Bed. ... Night, all, & let us be good to one another.
