Life is good to me. It has been full of adventure and good people, as well as some very challanging herdals. I was born in a small town of 1500 people just north of Wagga. Although this served me well as a child by the time I had turned 18 I knew it was time to leave. I moved to Sydney and lived in Coogee for a good three years then took off on an overseas adventure by myself at 21. This lead me throughout asia and north eastern europe. I returned back to Australia a year later and began to travel the homeland. This took me on some wild experiences including Scallop Fishing in Shark Bay (trawlers are a rough place for gay men to be, kept in the closet there.) This led on to more fishing in Broome and then onto the Whitsundays where I worked as a Deckhand on the Maxi yatchs. This was a great job although it was tough in the respect that the industry is very hetro oriantated and although I was out to some not all knew I was gay and I was not confident about it. This eventually got the better of me and I moved back to Sydney. I spent a year there then the opportunity to sail from Tortola to Brisbane arose, I didn't know the crew but I couldn't knock it back. The trip was great the crew was testing, I made it to Tahiti and returned back to Australia where I moved to Stanwell Park. It's a beautiful place and very close to Sydney. It was not long after I was offered another sailing adventure, this time a full circumnavigation of the planet. The thing that stopped me was I had met someone. He was very handsome, gay and very different to me. Regardless of this I felt like my life had become one great big run from myself. It was time to swallow the truth. I was gay, I am gay and always will be gay. So I fell in love for the first time with another man. The next two years were a bit rocky. There were so many wonderful things that existed in this relationship then so many differences made it complicated. One of the hardest things i've done was breaking up with him. It hurt us both very much. Since then wounds have begun to heal, my life is going forward. I am more certain of who I am yet more importantly happy and proud to be it. I have a supportive family, great friends, I love being gay and I finally love myself for it.
