Don't Come Out for Me
On National Coming Out Day
Don't come out for me.
Come out for you.
.
No need for fanfare or announcements.
No pressure to say it in the right tone
or write it in the right font.
.
You don't need to tell anyone really.
.
But trust yourself
to know yourself
and love yourself.
Even that part.
.
And know I love that part of you, too.

Three Minute Reads
— Hooking in the Reader — MANY among us write with an introduction using logos and 'Handles,' I use my name proudly for better or worse — I Yam what I Yam — And that's All that I Am. I know that I'm not everyone's page-turner preference; I'm ok with that. If we are going to be out-there within this fabulous platform on a Global basis, then be out there as YOU! How would your closest friends over the years describe you? Who from our VM Village would you like to sit down at the Cheesecake Factory and actually speak to in person. No, not just a virtual friend, but touchy-feely 'real,' I can think of several, I'd even treat!
