I decided that because my life is going through such a complete transition that maybe I should log that change. Maybe one day I will look back and think this was all a waste of time, or maybe I will realize that this is a time in my life that requires strength that I didn't know I had, and maybe this diary will someday help others.
I am now trying to decide what I want to say in this blog. How honest do I want to be in a potentially public forum? How complete does this story need to be? What if those others in my life come upon this diary and realize things about me they never knew and maybe I don't want them to know.
This is a part of the story of my life. This is not completely who I am, but it's a huge part of who I am becoming and who I will be proud to be. The struggles are not easy for me or my family but we're going to be okay. Time will make everything okay. I will be okay.
So to start I guess I should introduce myself. Obviously, I am not at the point where I am going to use real names, including my own. The chance that someone will come across this, however remote, is still a possibility and I owe it to the others that my life affects to allow them to share my story when they are ready.
I am a 31 year old man. Over the last year I have come to realize that I was living a lie. I have lived the first 30 plus years of my life as a heterosexual male. I am a university graduate. I am a husband (at this point). I am a great father. I am a son and a brother. From all accounts I am just your regular guy... but in my head I have been struggling with who I am.
