Today I am thankful for...

Welcome to my gratitude blog, which was formerly my 365 project (posts 5/30/10 - 5/30/11). I will continue posting 10 things for which I am grateful to help me (and maybe you too) stay positive.

Here's to optimism, gratitude, and all the simple pleasures of life :)

Catch-Up & Oceanside

Wow, I started day 1 of a 30-day challenge and didn’t continue for 2 days. Big fail. Sorry, I haven’t been to my computer all weekend! Now, back to business…

Day 2: Did you have any experiences as a child that might have foreshadowed your sexuality?

I remember having the hugest crush on Keira Knightley when I was younger, but I figured my infatuation was just a zealous way of looking up to her or just thinking that she was really pretty actress. After a while, though, I figured I probably would have married her if I had the chance.

Day 3: How old were you when you knew? What was that like for you?

I knew when I was 19, in sophomore year of college. Well, according to a formerly good friend of mine, I was “confused” and “just going through a phase.” I didn’t quite know what to do with myself after mustering up the courage to -try- to come out to one of my best friends and not having her believe me. I tried to shrug it off and not think about it too much. It wasn’t until a little over a year later when I was 20 that I couldn’t deny it anymore. That was when I decided that no one, no matter what role he or she played in my life, could tell me what I was or what I wasn’t.
