a surprise.....

b emailed myself and YL today with a subject heading new year resolution for the year 2007.

He wrote about coming out of his closet to officially 'announce' that he is gay to some of his closer friends and that wz and ff already knows. Couple of questions and thoughts came popping into my mind when i saw that

1. gay? he has been around me once every week more or less and although i treat him more like a sister, the word gay has never crossed my mind.

2. the email was sent to YL and myself. hmmm never knew the friendship hierachy im in with him states im of the same level as YL

3. What kinda new year resolution is that?

b has always been with the three of us, girls and of course, the fact that he is closer to wz and ff is a true fact that i acknowledged. we were always teasing each other and shared with each other some of our thoughts. like i've said, we are close, to certain extent and of cos been like a group of sisters, including b.

this email that he send to me came as a little surprise to me. surprise in the sense that i've always thought that i can feel things coming but this has definitely gone beyond my intuition.

b mentioned in his email that he's not sure how we will react to this but definitely hope for the best.

i guess, i can only say that, im happy that he share this with me though it took some time to open up and besides, this is something that can be sensitive and of cos i'm not sure when this has started. I'm not particular against this liking for someone of the same sex. Besides, who in this world would want to be that different from the rest. Although i do not think he will be in any situation better with this, but i think we should all respect people like him.

to be in the minority like this requires strength; to be able to confess is the biggest courage that one has to master, i think.

all i can say is, good luck my friend. be it in a good way or bad way. i'll give you my strength silently
