I let the cat out of the bag....

05 Oct, 2024

This year I began socializing more, reconnecting with a few friends. Which as you might expect came with some issues, as my lifestyle isn't known to any of those people. I was growing tired of making excuses, and tiptoeing around some questions that were posed to me about my spending, income, etc....So the other evening I let a couple of trusted friends, one whom I'm closer to than the other, know of my truth, how I earn money and date. Both ladies I feel I can trust, but I socialize mostly with the other, so I care more about her opinion.....Both took it quite positively, to my surprise and relief. So I'm now both relieved, and somewhat shell shocked. Shell shocked because I still can't believe I told them, lol.....hopefully we will grow closer because of it. If not, I'll understand....as I get that my lifestyle isn't the norm and for some, understanding and accepting it is a hard pill to swallow, even though they don't disagree with it. We all have different morals and beliefs, so time will tell how they settle with it, and me....Now if I could only get my mother to understand it, lol.....
