rigo Posted February 22 Posted February 22 (edited) I was born into a religion, all of my memories are connected to those believes. I became extremely attached to it and found a home. I would even travel to different cities and conduct services, I became some type of prodigy. Also, one my earlier memories is kissing my neighbor, another boy, when I was 3 y/o. I have always known I'm gay. This church does not accept homosexuality in any way and they have a shunning system put into place. If a person is disfellowshipped their family and friends can't talk to them again unless the person decides to go back into the church, which in this case will involve living in the closet again. I have suffered all of my life falling in love with everyone and having my heart broken many times, trying to start formal relationships with women and it didn't work. I feel very lonely, I have lost practically all of my friends, it's like being born again. No childhood friends and an unpreparedness to face the new surroundings I'm exposed to. It is very lonely. I wonder if it's too late to live my Love, Simon goes to college gay dream or if I should just go back into the cage? Is it too late? Edited February 22 by rigo 1

UnusualBoy Posted February 22 Posted February 22 As long as you breathe, it's never too late. Yeah, maybe not the kind of dreamy love from Love Simon or Heartstopper but a beautiful, loving and lasting relationship, for sure. 4
EtherealCat Posted February 22 Posted February 22 maybe, but its better to try now than wait any longer 2 2
Sheep Posted February 22 Posted February 22 It's only too late to live your best life if you're d*ad. What you described isn't a religion btw it's a cult, I escaped one too. There are resources out there for people like us. Keep your head up and remember to be kind to yourself 5 1

Mr. Peanutbutter Posted February 22 Posted February 22 (edited) I know a few people who have been in the same situation and as soon as they let go and allowed new experiences to come in, their life did a complete change for the best It's not too late, 33 is still young Edited February 22 by Mr. Peanutbutter
getBusy Posted February 22 Posted February 22 (edited) Think about it this way: is any age too late to BE HAPPY? You deserve to live life to the fullest, and if your church doesn’t let you, you should get out of there asap. Edited February 22 by getBusy 2 2

tost1 Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Theres so many good things waiting if you just don’t give up on being your true self, it will all be worth it in the end

rigo Posted February 22 Author Posted February 22 Just now, tost1 said: Theres so many good things waiting if you just don’t give up on being your true self, it will all be worth it in the end Hit it right in the head, I could give up and give in. Go through a process of attending services for year. Complete zero everything sexual or gay. And be back. I am tempted to sometimes. I have seen closeted guys there in their 60's with full families, I don't want that for myself.
nadiamendell Posted February 22 Posted February 22 I know plenty of gays that didn't come out and start dating until their 40s or 50s. It's never too late. 4
Raphy23 Posted February 22 Posted February 22 My manager came out at 45. He had 2 kids and a wife at that point. It took many therapy sessions for him to admit it to himself that he’s gay. Now he’s 6 years happily with his partner! 5 1
toast Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Find comfort in the fact that you can be honest with yourself about your sexuality, especially since there were so many gays before us who weren't able to do so/didn't get to make it to 33. Don't try to force a Love Simon story - believe in the fact that there's a beautiful story that begins with where you are right now. 4
velocity Posted February 22 Posted February 22 There's senior citizens who are changing their life around, you're very young and as long as you breathe it's not too late. You just have to be brave and let yourself have the things you want
sweetkiss Posted February 22 Posted February 22 i won't pretend to know your exact situation since i wasn't born in religion, but it is never too late to live your life the way you want to and deserve!! you live your life for you! sending you all the strength needed
Cain Posted February 22 Posted February 22 You should always assume you’re gonna live til 80 and make choices based on that 33 is extremely young in that perspective, you literally have 50 years ahead of you. Don’t live them in regret 1
MusicLoverDude Posted February 22 Posted February 22 It's never too late. I've been openly gay since I was 15 and haven't really had my dream romance either. I was lucky enough to be in an accepting home and an accepting community, but the gay community cyberbullied me as a teenager so that was my own trauma. It's taken me a long time to get confidence within myself.
