The Happiest Moment.

It's funny to me that I even entered this contest because now that I'm writing, I can't even remember a moment when I was truly flooding with happiness. So, I'm going to write about one of the most emotional yet beautiful days of my life. It was the day I came out as bisexual to my best friend. I had told her that I had something very very important to tell her at lunch. She wasn't very anxious to find out what it was because she can wait. I wouldn't be surprised if she waited in a 4 hour line for ride. Anyway, I was nervous. And scared. And just packed with emotions I can't begin to explain. When lunchtime came, I was a wreck. I met up with my best friend outside and we started walking around the schoolyard. I started off by telling her how nervous I was to say this and how afraid I was too. Then she told me she was scared when I said that I was scared. And you can only imagine how much more my head started pounding. I told her that I was different but not in a bad way and that my dad doesn't really like people that are this. Then she asked if I was a lesbian and I chuckled and said no. A few moments later, the word "bi" slipped out of my mouth. "I'm bi.", I then told her a little louder. And then my eyes welled up with tears as she started talking more. She realized that I was letting tears fall and I told her that I was scared she wouldn't want to be my friend anymore. She said that she'd always be my friend and that I should I tell my other friend, Juliana. Before I could say anything she was walking to me with Juliana next to her. I said I didn't want to tell Juliana, so I let my best friend tell her for me. Then Juliana was like "Okay." with a smile. And I cried some more after that. I hugged and cried with them and let it all out. I thought they would hate me was what I managed to get out between sobs. They promised that they would never.

This seems very sad but at that one moment when those two words came out of my mouth, I never felt more free. I never felt more like myself. And when I cried and hugged my two friends, I never felt more accepted and alive before. It was a feeling that you only experience once. It was that one feeling where you are yourself and nothing can get in the way of that. It was when I truly felt extraordinary and that is a moment where I've never felt happier. Basically, that day was the day I truly started living. And that day I was a happy that I've never felt before. Coming out was just a life changer for me. And I'd do anything to feel that firework in me again.
