Everything has been getting better lately -- for me, at least.
The person of my affection and I had this "Honesty Hour" type of thing where we could say whatever was on our minds... It was great. Anyways, I ended up telling her about my feelings and in a way, reciprocates them. ^^ We're trying to figure things out at the moment, but... I'm happy to know.
As I walk around in public, rarely, but occasionally, I do see homosexual couples holding hands and it makes me happy to know that people can do that now. They can hold hands with who they like in public and it's nice to see.
