I am a gay man and I let the monsters
in high school run me off. Needless to
say, I don't have a reunion to attend, but through Facebook, I have reconnected
with a few of my old high school friends. The monsters (either real or perceived
to be real) followed me for several years until I couldn't stand it anymore, I
had to do something. I thought suicide was the only option, but thankfully, I
even screwed that up. Today, I am completely out of the closet, I am clean and
sober and I’m married to a wonderful man. It amazes me sometimes how many of us
survived. I'm glad I did and I’m glad you survived as well.
