Hello all. I know I haven't been very active here for quite some time, and I'm sorry. Here's what's been happening to me lately... I felt I had to tell someone, and I thought, why not here? So here goes. (I don't like the way this is written really, but oh well.)
I've been coming out of the 'broom closet' to my friends, and I've been becoming a bit more open with my sexuality (I'm bi and I'm rather paranoid!), none of whom have problems with any of it. On my Myspace profile, I have it listed that I am both Bisexual and Wiccan. A week or two ago, I felt that I should change it in case someone who wouldn't like it found it. I should have gone with my gut, like I usually do, because the youth pastor from the Christian church I attend found it and confronted me about it in an email. (As a side note: I actually teach 1st grade Sunday school at my church. I was sort of thrust into it without me having any say, and because I'm not comfortable with it we're looking for a replacement.) For a while I was afraid he would tell my mother, but the email is actually sort of old (I never check my Myspace. I hate it. sweatdrop ), and so far nothing has happened. I haven't been to the church for weeks so he hasn't had a chance to confront me with it there either.
But the thing of it is, being confronted with my 'new' religion has made me open my eyes a bit. I realized that I had been 'falling out' of religion in general, and that made me feel bad, and check myself as to how I felt about my personal religion. But the more I thought about it, the more I was drawn back in, and to put it simply I've fallen in love with Wicca all over again. I'm feeling more confident and less afraid about the impending confrontation with the support of my friends and my faith.

But as of recently I have come clean with my family. My grandmother knows and so does my mother...and My grandmother also knows my skills and my choice of religion and supports me deeply. I told her that I was not comfrotable being forced into the catholic church, but I was opening to learn somethings (Hence why I'm elcetric). But she was always the first to know...you really shouldn't keep it pent up...it's really good for you ya know?

I know what you mean about falling in love with the religeon all over again. I have, and I cant study and/or practice it. I find myself wanting to proform an esbat on the full moon and celebrate the holidays. its really hard

^^ I sort of have that problem too, but I'm getting a lot of time to myself now so I can actually practice some stuff.
And in response to Silver Lm: I've sort of told my father. He knows how I feel about religion in general and my decisions in it. I haven't really told him straight out that I'm Wiccan, but I've told him that I was interesting in Pagan religions and such (which was actually before I really settled down into Wicca so it wasn't untrue or anything).
