The rest of the family thinks I'm a pure innocent girl... How wrong they are! Haha But that's what I've got to do... Hide my personal life, my adventures, my relationships, and even some of my friends... But that's only cause I still live with my parents... (I'm 18)... As soon as possible, I'm gonna get the hell outta here, so I can live my life the way I want it without someone to watch me and tell me bout what I was supposed to do... I got two separate lifes, but my mother knows that I like girls… she doesn’t agree, of course, but don’t do anything ’bout it either. The rest of the family thinks I’m a pure innocent girl… How wrong they are! Haha

I would go by something along the same formula of the porn star name equation, but my alias would end up being "Pooh Tinkerbell." And that is just out of the question. FB does give you a creepy amount of information about people that you are friends with, or if the person you are searching for has an open and public profile, you don't even need to be friends with them to creep about on their page. I try to keep things separate, though I do have the link to my blog on my own FB page. I am friends with some members of my family. My father's side of the family. The family that looks down upon my mother's side because we celebrate Halloween and wear tank tops. I would hate to call them "Bible Thumpers" but that's pretty much what they are. I look at it this way, I'm out and I'm comfortable with that. I do things that some people wouldn't deem safe or healthy, or even sane in some cases, but I'm comfortable with who I am and what I do. It takes some initiative to look for a blog, or even a link to it on my page. If someone goes hunting for me, then I don't mind if they find out the cold hard truth about my daily life. Knowledge hurts sometimes, but if they really wanted to find out all about me then let them have that hurt or disgust or look down upon me. I don't mind. I'm too happy being who I am to deal with their skewed misconceptions of me. I completely understand the separation.

I'm out! My whole family knows I'm gay and knows I run a lesbian blog. But it's just that, that's ENOUGH information for them. I don't want them reading this and I don't think they want to read it either. I mean honestly, how many people would feel comfortable sharing some of their more wild or personal stories with family members? Not me! I like it like this. Family in one box. My friends and personal life in another. :) Oh no, Deb you’re TOTALLY right! I’m out! My whole family knows I’m gay and knows I run a lesbian blog.

Eventually you will be outed. It is a perversity of the universe, that which you MOST fear, will surely manifest. It's hard to come out, but you'll feel better if you do. Then you won't have to look over your shoulder all the time. I figure it's better to be loved for who we really are, than to be loved for who people think we are.
