I'm very happy for you. Stories like yours helped motivate me to do similar. I've semi-recently come out to a few friends of mine that I'm bi / pan, but still only have one foot outside the closet. I did it for no particular reason other than to see what it felt like to be open about it for once. I'm glad I did. It felt like taking a gasp of fresh air after holding my breath for far too long. While it wasn't a life changing moment for me like it has been for others, self-acceptance has dramatically eased my emotional stress, and I hope we can encourage more to do the same.
