Reading Material

I made a big step forward yesterday evening in my journey of becoming more open and honest about who I am with people in my life. Obviously the more pertinent people are family and close friends but tackling this immediately has proved a little overwhelming. As a compromise I decided I would take the book that has been sat on my bedside table for well over six months now waiting for me to make the time to sit and read it into work to read on my breaks. I can make all the excuses under the sun for why I'd not managed to read it at home but hey, you've not got all day and I need to head to bed for some sleep so I'll save you that one for now!! Anyway, the point of my post is this, I took my book into work with me and whilst I made some attempts to keep the front cover of the book concealed (as I'm thinking 'The Ethical Slut' in big gold letters kind of lets people know that I'm not reading about the Bronte sisters!) without doubt some of my colleagues saw the book and whilst they looked a little surprised there was basically no reaction. Winner! I know that to many people this seems like nothing but for me this is big. To make even the tiniest step forward into a public and extremely vanilla forum to let people know that I'm not what they all think I am...well for me that's HUGE and I have to say, I'm really quite proud of myself :)
