I came out to a few of my friends, my mother, and my godmother last year. I had been dating Katie for 5 months before I brought myself to do that. The problem was I was still not comfortable with who I truly was. I did not tell everyone and was not open in public. I ended up ruining the most important relationship in my entire life because I was scared. I regret not being confident with who I really was. I would give anything in this world to get that girl back. I cherish her so much. I love her with every breath that I take, and I miss her. I wish I had not been afraid.
