I'm so happy! A couple nights ago (the twelfth) I came out as gay to her over text :D I didn't know where to post this, but it's sort of a happy light topic I think. Here's the conversation:
Me: Alright well. I'm not sure how to actually say it

Her: What?

Me: I need to tell you something. I've only ever told one person (Jane) and I really need you to not freak out.

Her: Is this about what you told me in the beginning of the year?

Me: Not really

Her: Ok

Me: I'm actually doing pretty well with that. I haven't done anything in weeks

Me: Ok. I'm gay.

Her: Honestly, I'm not actually sure how to respond. I'm not freaking out. I'm just surprised.

Me: Ok. I don't really know what else to say

Her: How long have you known this?

Me: A long time. I realized I wasn't straight in middle school, though. I tried to be for a while after that.

Her: Ok. Because you've told me of guys you liked before.
Her: Are you gonna tell anyone else soon? Don't worry I absolutely promise I won't.

Me: Yeah, I know. You mean Peter, right? I sort of "decided" to like him :/ I'd realized it had been a while since I'd liked a guy.
I'll probably tell Livi soon. I might come out to my mom after Christmas. I don't know, though. You have no idea how big a deal coming out to you is right now. Thanks for not freaking out

Her: I think that telling Livi first is a good idea. I know it must be a big deal for you and it means a lot that you trust me so much.

Me: Your basically my best friend I'm so glad I've told you

Her: Well you know I'm always here for you.

I also haven't self harmed in weeks! I think that learning to accept myself is really helping me become happier and less inclined to sh.

Good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant. - 11th Doctor One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever comes to sit by it.
