Taking Back Sunday
So at the moment I haven’t slept in two days and I’m rocking out to Taking Back Sunday’s new album Sink Into Me. It’s amazing really. Anyways… my happiness is definitely growing. I’ve discovered a whole amazing group of people here in Atlanta. Life is good, and so is the future it seems. I’m excited, and I just wanted to let all of you know lol.
I’m talking to this really cool guy on Facebook too. His name is Alex and he just came out of the closet. He seems like an awesome guy; definitely someone I can connect with having just came out myself. What an interesting adventure that has been. And right now I am more out than ever, certainly more out than I ever thought that I would be. And it’s amazing. The feeling of freedom and exhilaration never ends.
Hopefully I’ll meet someone soon. I know I’m looking so for any of you takers, CONTACT ME! lol If you want that is. I suppose that may not be the best way ever of finding someone. But whatever, I don’t care. I’m in too good of a mood.
I’m going to go for now though. Hope all is well with everyone. Leave comments too! I need them badly.
Atlanta
Well it has most certainly been an adventure over the past several months. I’ve gone from Savannah, GA to Jacksonville, FL to Navarre, FL to Atlanta, GA. It’s been a crazy whirlwind of events and learning; these past few months have given me experiences I wouldn’t ever trade.
It all started, sadly, with a trip to the ER due to a drug addiction. I am an addict in recovery now. Being in the hospital was an eye-opener for sure. I was there for almost ten hours, overnight, waiting in a room with a security guard outside my room to ensure that I would not leave. I had no idea that I was being sent to rehab.
That night changed everything for me. It gave me the opportunity to get clean once and for all; a feat I had never been able to acomplish on my own. I learned about addiction, about myself, and about how to get my life straight for the first time ever. I had no idea, now in retrospect, that my mind had been so clouded with wrong perceptions and ideas that were at best illogical.
Now however, I am living in Atlanta, GA. I am open about my disease (and addiction is a disease recognized by the American Medical Association) and about myself. I’m going to AA meetings on a regular basis, I’ve got new friends who I can trust, and I’ve come to terms with the fact that I am gay. And I’m open about all of these. For the first time, it seems, I am not afraid of the truth or letting people know it. It’s very liberating.
That’s all I have for right now, but I will be back soon with something for you guys.
