"Kami."

May 2, 2013

Basically that's how I told my mom about my sexuality. Brief. Concise.

Awful.

She broke out crying, tears flowing like they've been saved up for this moment. She was quiet, eyes closed,  with a heavy sob escaping every minute. her knees gave way, leading her to crouch in to a ball. Still crying, her deep sniffs and crystal tears were the only signs of her emotions - of which I couldn't decipher.

Shock? Obviously.

Disbelief? Doubtly.

Despair? ...Hm.

Anguish? Not a single wrinkle on her forehead.

Dismay? Err... not quite.

Pain? whose severity I cannot gauge.

It took her about 20 minutes or so before opening her eyes, She stood up, wiped her face, took a deep breath and turned around without looking at me. She went straight to her bedroom, and I heard the door closing after her.

This is my coming out story. Brief. Concise. And it didn't end here.
