		<description>It&#039;s so strange that across the globe there&#039;re people who&#039;ve been through similar experiences. 
Your story reminded me of my fear. A fear I left behind many years ago. You&#039;re right. It still sends a shiver down the spine. 
In some ways you&#039;re fortunate. Because you have a briefcase full of memories. All my memories are in my head. And sometimes I wonder which ones have already seeped through and are lost forever.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;4321&#039;,&#039;Zoya&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;4321&#039;,&#039;Zoya&#039;,&#039;It\&#039;s so strange that across the globe there\&#039;re people who\&#039;ve been through similar experiences. \r\nYour story reminded me of my fear.

		<description>I enjoy reading stories like yours. I have a completely different coming out from most. At 15 I told my mother I was certain I was gay (this was 1985). It was completely different to be gay in the 80&#039;s as it is now. I was out and proud and in all honestly probably could have been killed for it. I&#039;m proud of how society has changed and will continue to change ... progress.

		<description>Thanks, Chelsea. Yeah, I was a totally different person back then. It is almost incredible how coming out made me stronger, self-assured and an all-round a better person. I shudder when I think I was ever in that awful place.
