- Steve, I'm sorry that your so blue. :(
- I've been were your at a few times myself. There's
- not much I can say. Some work out, some don't.
- I can offer that hug though.
- (Mike, fulfilling his role in society as the strong
- silent masculine type, (a role his is finally starting to
- move beyond), takes Steve and holds him tight :)
-
- I can also offer a suggestion. Try and move beyond the
- need. Do something for yourself. Be creative, do something
- that will make you happy. Do something artistic, if your
- so inclined, play guitar, draw, write a poem, even a love
- poem. Try and take advantage of your new found freedom.
-
- My acceptance of my bisexuality was not as easy as yours
- seems to have been. I suppressed alot of my feelings for
- about two years. I felt I was just going through the motions
- of life the whole time. I have alot of friends, and I'm
- a fanatic Ultimate Frisbee player, so I had something
- that got me through. But inside I often felt like I
- didn't have much of a life.
-
- I finally found the strength to accept my sexuality, and
- it has led to a wonderful new found creativity. I found
- myself writing a story about bisexual people. It is fiction
- but it has alot of me in it. I feel great though. I'm not
- sure how good the story is, you can tell me yourself, I'm
- hoping to have it finished today so I can share it with
- everybody.
-
- The only other point I'd like to make, is that I'm finding
- that simply saying to yourself that you are now bisexual
- will not solve all your problems. I believe you said in
- one of your posts that you have yet to tell your friends.
- The acceptance of ones friends is very important, and I
- suspect you are reluctant to tell them, in fear of loosing
- them as friends. If this is true, I don't want to interfere,
- but I will say that I think you should reasure _yourself_
- first. Go back to last week when you were excited about
- your decision, and use that as a focal point. Use your
- own acceptance as the start for finding more. Decide
- why you made this decision to change your life, and
- try to use that to convince others that it was a good
- decision for you!

- <From the movie _Harold and Maude_>
- Harold: I'm sure picking up on vices today!
- Maude: Vice? Virtue? It's best not to be too moral!
- You cheat yourself out of too much life.
- Aim above morality!
-
- Best whishes! M
