The Journey to Inner Freedom

In 2010, at age 37, Darragh accepts and admits openly that he is gay.

Finding the courage to ‘come out’ as a gay man, takes the support of special people. The first encounter with my best friend was a heartfelt, non-judgemental, two hour conversation with her (then a complete stranger), while she sat in the back of my taxi cab in 2009. From that night, our journey as friends began as did my personal journey to inner freedom.
 
I have had many relationships with women and while I do love women, I always knew something wasn’t right. I could never connect with a women, on that most intimate level. I loved to the best of my ability at the time. I tried to be straight. For my Mom, my family, and my friends...my fear of rejection was strong.

The final step in letting go and accepting myself as a gay man, came through music. It was during the recording of a song I had written about someone else, "Who Am I?" I realized that the time had finally come, when I had to stop running. I am gay.

The whole idea of "coming out" was not something I had given any thought about, but I also knew I could no longer bury that which I had now embraced. The realization and acceptance that I am gay is one thing, but telling others is a whole different ball game. Obviously, the first phone call made was to my best friend, who was, of course, excited and supportive. And much to my
surprise, as I shared my big news with other friends and family, I heard comments such as "it’s about time" and "we’ve been waiting to hear this since High School."

The weeks have now passed by and I am still amazed at the freedom I feel. My message is simple: Be proud of who you are and walk tall.   www.thesingingtaxidriver.com
