A little coming out story (well more like two), plus updates.
I first came out as Bisexual to my mom on June 30th.
I'll give a bit of a backstory.
I started having these feelings/differences when I was about 16 years old (but, memories go farther back). I'd had tons of realization and was beating myself up over; thinking it a phase. But, after watching/reading a bunch of things, I finally decided I had to do it. I had to accept myself for who I truly am, and who I want to be. So, on June 30th, I came out as bisexual to my mom. I bawled my eyes out whilst attempting to tell her, as I was terrified of finally saying the truth out loud. As if finally admitting it to myself as well.
My mom was so supportive, and even guessed it before I said it like I had hoped. I knew in my heart she would be.
....
Since telling her, we've both been closer (never thought it possible seeing as she's my best friend already). I feel like I can truly be myself and no longer hide.
....
I wasn't going to tell my dad anytime soon due to how I thought he'd react. I figured he would think of it as a phase or try to come up with ways for me to not be bi. I was wrong. On July 14th, my mom sat me down and told me my dad would accept me no matter what. That they had talked and she hinted at my sexuality. So, the next day; we went to lunch at DQ, and I told him. I didn't cry, everything was super chill and casual as if we were chatting about the weather. He's supportive and made sure I knew I could always talk to him about anything. I should never be afraid. We then discussed who I should wait on telling, as there's members of the family that are unpredictable as to what their reaction could be. But, he promised should anybody try to bother me about it; he'll set them straight. Family or not.
....
I'm just so relieved, happy, excited, and I feel free.
I want to say a gigantic thank you to my friends, watchers, and everyone for the continued support.
Now for them updates.
At the moment I'm a little sick, so coughing, sneezing, stuffy nose, etc.
I haven't logged into my
account in several days, so I apologize if I have answered any messages, replies, comments, etc.
I've been having too much fun on this one lol.
I'm creating a YT channel where I'll do gaming, challenges, and random challenges.
I'm trying to choose which play through/let's play I'll do first. Maybe I'll put up a vote on that once.
I'm having my dad build me a desk, which will hold my computers, gaming platforms, and some little knick knacks.
Currently shopping for gaming chairs, if I can't find one I like then my dad will build me one made from a race car bucket seat.
I'm getting my hair changed up. It'll be about two inches shorter, and amber blonde with purple peekaboo streaks/highlights.
No more brunette with blonde.
Also have plans of getting a tattoo but more on that later.
Switching to my new Dell Touchscreen Laptop since my Dell Latitude E5510 is just about on it's last leg lol. The keyboard is messed up making it difficult to type. This post took about two hours with a lot of swear words being thrown at my laptop. The computer I'll be doing gaming on is my Alienware Desktop Computer.
Oh and here are the mascots for my gaming channel Sansa (left) and Saskia (right). Special thanks to
for the art.

for the art. Unseen Equine Artist Feature 05
Bringing back a classic series of mine - the monthly artist features! All artists featured currently (as of posting this) have less watchers than me (I have over 455 currently). Hopefully some of my watchers can venture over to these amazing artists' pages and watch them. Give them some feedback too as some have less than 150 watchers thus aren't getting many comments/faves. I'm featuring 5 artists this month with 4-6 personal favorite pieces per artist. I'd also like to note several unseen artists I featured in past additions of this who have hit a new watcher milestone since then or are super close to one! Congrats everyone! CowsAreNeat - Hit 450 watchers! 8 watchers away from 500! Ferushi - Hit 150 watchers! Wyrdeer - Hit 250 watchers! DaSassy - Hit 400 watchers! OwlieOwl - Hit 250 watchers! FawkesHaven - Hit 400 watchers! SophieMacaulay - Hit 300 watchers! elkasteri- Hit 350 watchers! DreamCatcher-Stable - 6 watchers away from 300! SofiesDrawings - Hit 350
2022 Chestnut Challenge Championship Titles
Still have the Public's Choice (fan favorite) and Surprise Titles to do but figured I'd get these up today at least. More prizes connected to these to come, I've just been working hard on other things so haven't gotten the trophies, sashes and show blankets done yet. They shouldn't take too long to get done though. EQUINE RESERVE CHAMPION OF THE CHESTNUT CHALLENGE Nicotine & Alastor - 209 points out of 316.5 + 21.5 bonus points = Total: 230.5 Second most points accumulated throughout the show and one of the best average image score earners as well. I really appreciated the level of creativity and character development were illustrated in the different pieces. As a disabled person myself, I really appreciated seeing disabilities represented respectfully, while still finding some humor in the various situations/scenarios Alastor found himself in. Also really like the attention to detail in the two western images especially. The judges in the background of the Ranch Sorting was a really

That's a scary thing to go through and I hope you feel better now that your family supports you. I'm bi as well so I know what it's like to go through that. However I have not told my family as they would never support me. So I keep those things to myself. If you need to talk to me let me know or message me on equiverse.
