I hav e noth i ng i n telligen t to
say rather than open my mouth...
:06:07
and remo ve al I doubt.
:06:11
I got shot down,
but it was worth it,
:06:13
'cause it jarred someth i ng.
:06:15
Later that nigh t,
I had an epiphany:
:06:17
For the first time i n my life,
I realized I was gay.
:06:21
Not just confused, or goi ng
through a phase but actually gay.
:06:24
That nigh t I came out
of the closet to myself.
:06:28
But th is only
made th i ngs worse.
:06:30
I was anx iety-ridden
out of my mi nd.
:06:32
I needed to talk to someone.
:06:34
But there was no one i n
my family I cou Id go to.
:06:37
I didn 't hav e any
friends i n h igh school.
:06:39
H igh school.
:06:41
Fi nally i n my desperation
I ended up down town...
:06:44

with a part-time social work er...
:06:47
