I've spent my whole life trying to become the succussful person I've always dreamed of being. I didn't always know what I wanted to do, but I knew I wanted to make a name for myself. I wanted to be daughter my parents could be proud of. My parents didn't always have the most faith in me, but they sacrifed a lot for me. They didn't always give me what I wanted, but I never went without anything I needed. I know at times they deprived themselves to make sure I was able to accomplish my goals. I owe them everything, but there is a twist. I'm gay and they'll never accept that or me whenever they find out. I don't even know if they'll keep speaking to me. I wanted to make them the proudest parents in the world and never disappoint them, and until this point, I haven't. After today, I get to make the decision between breaking their hearts or breaking mine. I don't know if I can break their hearts. It kills me everyday to think about. I'm so in love and I just wish that was enough, but sometimes it isn't. Sometimes you're forced to make a choice. The love or your parents or the love of your soul mate?

Hmmm.... let's see... the time tested and proven love of your creators and nurturers... or the alleged/assumed love of some relative stranger (compared to your parents) whom you've christened with the ridiculous new-age title of "soulmate" (of which you'll have numerous of over the course of your life, especially since there is no such thing... maybe you should have a pet unicorn too....)....
Hmmm..........................................

Maybe you need to have a little more faith in your parents. It sounds like they really care about you so why should they reject you? They should be proud of you because you're their daughter, no matter what you believe or who you really are. My parents haven't always agreed with my decisions and my lifestlye but they come around when they see how dedicated I am to what I value. They love me and so they learn to accept me as I am. I think yours will too. And if they don't at first you have to stay true to yourself in spite of it.
