Sometimes i have found especially on freedom2b writing down your thoughts can be a great way of being able to put things in perspective, i can relate to what you are saying in regards to spilling your guts when i have placed my inner feelings on here and pressed the send button i gasp wondering what negativity or some negative comment will come back then i take a step back and think this is a place one of very few where we can write down and share whats really going on inside, it takes courage to write down what you are feeling and present in front of strangers,so please don't forget that. i am learning this is a long journey of working things out i liken it to a big knot trying to untie the many strands.

Hi Miss Muppet – It's been a while since I have logged on to f2be – so GREAT to read about your courage in coming out – well done to you 🙂

So – how are things going? Where are you up to at the moment? Things can be a bit of a roller coaster – hang in there and keep us posted as to what's going on.

Sarab xx

Hey, I just noticed your reply Sarab. Thank you xo


There are still dramas with my neighbours. Not sure the relationship can be repaired. But I still believe I've done all I can to reconcile.


I can't do anything about people not liking me. It kinda hurts. As long as they are neighbours I will keep being kind. Just keep to myself.

Thought to post here. I just had the most amazing dream!

Made me feel very encouraged. Bits of it sound corny but I'm amazed at the outcome. It was a naked dream & I knew it but couldn't do anything about it. People in authority were saying it wasn't appropriate & I needed to leave the College/Uni. So many looked unapprovingly at me. But I felt what I did meant something important so I pressed on, ignoring their judgement.


Next thing I know, many others started to take their clothes off. It really touched me & encouraged me to keep on my way. Then there were young people dancing & half covering their vulnerabilities too. But one of them came up to me & said thank you, giving me lots of money. And my first thought was to give it to Freedom2be…


Woke up feeling good & encouraged to be more open about my gay Christian status. Who knows what the future holds for me. But it seems important to let people know we exist & are here for support. Thanks for reading xo

Hi missmuppet.

What a great dream! Thanks for sharing it here. 🙂 It sounds like this dream reflects some very positive shifts in your core about having the courage to be who you are. Does that sound right?

Blessings,

Ann Maree

Thank you. Yeah I guess things are starting to shift for me, maybe. But of course being single & same sex attracted is very different than introducing the world to a partner. I'm still very lonely. Just trying to find a way to meet the right person for me, the one the Lord has provided. Really not sure how to go about that. I've got a few health issues & right now I'm feeling a bit hopeless, like damaged goods, that no one may want. Maybe I've left it too long. Anyway, ideas welcome…

Hi, I hate that 'damaged goods' feeling – but it does not have to determine your future. Wanting to and needing to connect with others is how we are wired, but it is also important to be able to connect with ourselves. (You mentioned this earlier.)

You've made some massive steps this year in toward your own sense of self – this is good. Sounds like you've been becoming more bold too. Enjoy this, and know that you have a supportive community around you. Surely the challenge for all of us is to like the skin we are in.

Hi Miss Muppet,

I hope you are doing ok?

Your post made me feel sad when you said maybe you'd left it too long and that you feel like damaged goods. I don't think it's ever too late, we can't put limits on ourselves. Don't give up. I can't imagine God wanting any of us to feel alone and unloved. I think people come into our lives when the time is right. Some people seem to meet their perfect partner straight away but sometimes we meet a few people along the way who don't turn out to be right but it's still a reminder to us that there are good, loving people out there and that there is hope.

Hold your head high and believe in yourself and that you are worthy to be loved.

Thinking of you

Kat
