Two years ago my life took a major change in direction. I had been divorced for a couple of years. I just got out of another bad relationship. I needed to get away. My best friend Jamie and I were talking about going on a girls trip. She talked to her husband and we booked a trip to Puerto Rico for the two of us. We have been friends since high school. She was the first girl I ever kissed. Neither of us ever came out but I have always had a crush on her. That first night in Puerto Rico we were walking on the beech checking out the sunset. We had both had a few drinks. I looked over at her beautiful face and I don't know what I was thinking but I kissed her. not just a peck of the lips but full blow making out. After a little while, not sure how long it was, I pulled away. I apologized. Before I got the word sorry fully out of my mouth she kissed me. I'm not sure how long we were out on the beach kissing but it was completely dark out before we headed back. That night we both admitted to each other that we have always had a crush on each other. Those 5 days in Puerto Rico changed my life. It was the first time that I have ever been open and honest about my sexuality. From that day on I have embraced who I really am.
