Valentine's Day Challenge

About 'coming out'. It seems easier to do so when you are in love.You are focused on the object of your love, and you want to share with the world what you have found in that person.It is therefore natural to speak about the object of your love in any and all circumstances, and to seek any and all opportunities to tell the world that indeed you are happy and blessed amoung men/women. I do not think it is by any means only those of same sex attraction who feel they must 'come out' in love, but that all love seeks to proclaim itself.In specific, I often feel the 'need' to proclaim love of another. It is a way of showing that this person, despite what anyone else thinks, is worthy of love.And, rebelling against what others think is the truest expression of love. There is a certain satisfaction in saying; I, a normal, intelligent, productive person, can see past everything else, and find the beauty in this person, be they man, woman, criminal, cripple, old, young, beautiful, black, white, of any background and any shade in between, so you, see them through my eyes.Edited by anastasia, : No reason given.

The only unfortunate thing is that for all practical purposes, the sweetness of love is often made bitter by the unyielding of those around you.
