Why come out now?

Avatar for get_the_author

Written by Sean on Thursday, February 5, 1998

For 20+ years, I hid my wannabe feelings from others, but also myself. Now I have the chance to live as a para, most of the time, to make myself feel better. But now, the weight of secret remains… I can’t very well tell everyone I know the whole truth.

So a para friend asked me why bother to tell people. I had to think but the answer is that the less secret I have to keep, the better I feel.

I’ll tell as many people as I think will understand, or at least attempt understanding, and that is what I can do to lessen the burden of hiding parts of me. Hmmm, will have to think more on that, write more… I wanted to put this up now, as it was pointed out to me that there hadn’t been an update in a while…. :-)))

About Sean

Sean is transabled. His body image is that of an L2 paraplegic. He has been living pretty much 100% of his public life from a wheelchair for the last decade, but hasn't found peace of mind (and is unlikely to until he does become a para).
