Plus des vêtements, c'est trop à demander?: February 2010

this week has been really chill. homework has been light and almost non exsistant. monday i went to the copley library with Jasmean and Avaloi (was missing Fatou and Fontaine. whats up with that!) which could be defined as fun fun fun. the only thing that sucked was that Jasmean had to leave early (errrrr)! oh and the weather was way cold (brrrrrr) which forced me to buy a hat at CVS (don't judge).
today i there was a GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) event after school and me and a couple of my friends decided to attend. there were a lot more people than i expected that showed up; which made it awkward when me and my friend Fontaine arrived fashionably late. during the event kids in the GSA were sharing there coming out stories. let me just say i have a ton of respect for all who shared and all of them were amazing. this one girl from my school had her mum with her and they both recited the girls coming out story together; which i thought was really sweet. when the girl told her parents, the mum (along with the pup, who was not present) was very accepting of her daughter and loves her dearly. my friend Jamilah also shared her story and after hearing hers it only confirms that she is strong and beautiful! for the most part everyone seemed to have accepting people in their lives. except for one girl who got kicked out of her home, which almost brought me to tears. it seemed as though the boys had it easier than the girls, which i found to be interesting.
i know that i definitley had it lucky. when i came out to my parents last year i was way nervous. i could not do it in person so i wrote them a letter and decided to give it to them on my birthday. i gave it to my father first when he dropped me off at school and i quickly ran out the car. later i got a text from my mum saying that she loves me no matter what (this was a huge relief) but i still had not heard anything from my father. i was sooo nervous; i mean nervous to the point where i made myself sick. i ended up going home early that day. when my mum had picked me up my dad called me when i was in the car and he said he already knew and he did not mind. i felt better. i am really thankful for their acceptance. i dont know what i would do if things turned out to be not in my favour. that was by far the most interesting birthday i ever had! i know there are going to people who do not accept it, but those people are irrelevant to my life.
Ce qui ne fait pas de mal me rend plus fort. Cute rester mes amis!!!!!
