I've been authentically being myself for the first time in my life.

So I recently had a mental breakdown and decided to just let everything go and live for myself. I authentically started being me.<br><br>My family and friends are so shocked and a few are angry, but I'm also happier than I ever thought I could be. I feel so proud that I finally had the courage to be myself and not hide it anymore.<br><br>I'm a man who is bi and poly, I am so open with that now and I just feel free. I feel so happy.<br><br>I just wanted to share this.<br><br>Thank you for listening.<br><br>Edit: Wow. Thank you very much kind strangers. You all are very sweet. I'm glad that I get to be myself and be more open and honest about it. I'm very happy that I finally did.<br><br>Edit 2: I love all of you. Thank you for showing me that the world isn't a dark place. I feel so warm and fuzzy right now, thank you all!<br><br>Edit 3: Hey guys, I'm gonna take some time to think and read all of your comments. I really appreciate you all so much. Thank you all so so much.<br><br>Edit 4: Thank you so much everyone, you guys seriously mean a lot to me. I think I'm going to stop checking this post for now and just read through it tonight or tomorrow when I can actually focus. You are amazing.
