I dont think I’ll ever come out. I watch coming out stories that gives me hope, but those successful coming out stories are like gift given to them. Can’t make my parents feel ashamed of me in front of the society. No matter how much one denies that society doesn’t matter, but the truth is that society never let you live if you are different than their expectations. I’ll never come out if that’s the cost for my parents peaceful life. And that’s worthy. I get frustrated many times I dont know why but each time I get frustrated I try that the next time I take care that I dont take out my frustration on others especially my family.
