Once I started to visit clubs and off meetings a few years
ago, I got a lot of lesbian and bisexual friends. And I came
to think what I'd never been aware of, that is,
People are different each other.
When I was in school I didn't have friends of same sexuality.
I always thought that it would be great if I have lesbian
friends. While girls (heterosexual) talked about boys, I just
listened to them feeling something was wrong.
Now I don't have such uncomfortable feeling. That has relationships
with complex in me.
It's really a small thing, not a big deal. I knew it but I
felt so sad because of the complex. Everybody's different
so I should not care about it. I tend to take that people
don't understand me but if I don't pay much attention to it,
it's nothing. I told myself so but it didn't work.
But been told by surrounded people, I gradually came to take
it as it is. It was amazing.
I had been getting unspoken message "You (I) are different"
from heterosexual friends around me. When I got friends of
sexual minority, the message changed to a positive one "People
are different each other."
I can't stop wising that I could have lesbian and bisexual
friends earlier.
I became conscious of myself liking woman when I was in preschool.
I'd already felt it sad not to have person of same kind. Although
only a few years passed since I got to know and made friends
with lesbian and bisexual friends, my life has drastically
changed.
In my young days, I never talked about a person "I love"
even though people around me talked about men whom they were
dating with. It was really tiresome. Now I'm have friends
that I talk to. That means a lot to me.
After a few weeks I visited lesbian site for the first time,
I joined a off meeting. I felt uneasy but people I met were
friendly and I was happy. To have a place where I can talk
about myself is extremely wonderful.
