No time for me, or anyone else

I sometimes envy people who know who they are and where they are going. I have been struggling with this for a long time. Yes, I know I am gay, and I have come to terms with that (in my head anyway). I still live what is basically a straight life. Even that sounds funny. I know that being gay is more that just having sex with men, it's about what is going on inside my head. It the attraction I feel for men, it's about wanting to be with men and sharing a life

But I am living a straight life so it's hard to grasp my identity as a gay man. I feel so conflicted. Living between two worlds, but not fully in either one. In an eternal limbo. Who am I? Where do I fit in?

It hard to to figure that all when you have no time. I really don't have time to be writing this but I am addicted to this blogging thing. My job has filled up with a lot of stuff. I have been bringing work home every night. K works every evening and she does not get home until I get the kids to bed. By then we are both tired. We have not had a real talk about anything in a long time.

All I really know is that neither one of is very happy right now.

To be honest there really isn't that much difference between and "gay" and a "straight" life. Living "gay" has just allowed me to be more comfortable with who I am. A lot of the anxiety that I experienced when I was "married" has disappeared. That doesn't mean life is any easier but for me it's a lot less anxious.

One more thing I would like you to think about is to stop trying to be "happy" and instead become more "content".....it's so much easier.
