Deep breath... I missed the #ComingOutStories yesterday but "enjoyed" reading them this evening (some of it was hard to read and I will never entirely understand the world we live in). Some of it feels familiar.
I turned 51 last year and I'm just beginning to come to terms with a lot about myself. I wrote a longish blog post about a week ago that was the culmination of realizing that I probably fall on the #Asexual spectrum.

For those curious, there's a lot more that I unpack with more space to think/write, including an unhealthy dose of #InternalizedHomophobia that certainly didn't help anything.
I've slowly started sharing, starting with old friends, many who I'm only connected to online these days. The one thing about "waiting" this long is there's no close family left to worry might reject me.
It sounds like you've started on a journey that may take a while. Be kind to yourself while you're on it. And congratulations.
@ScottSoCal Thank you - I'm sure I have more to learn about myself. Zero question about that but writing it down helped me a lot. I can not tell you how many times I re-wrote that. It was sort of an exercise in itself of re-thinking what I thought I knew.
