Ricky Martin
Well, it’s not news to us, we already knew that like a million years ago, but Ricky Martin thought that this is the right time to come out and say to the world that he’s GAY.. We wanted to wait before posting this, we know that the whole world is talking about it, but we felt that there is a reason behind his sudden change of plans.. The word out there is that the Latin Pop star is being threatened to open up, or others will, reports say that there is blackmail behind this sudden honesty about who he really is. We’re not sure if this is right or not, but never underestimate the power of Media, if they had something on the star, he had no other choice but to actually open up before it went out of control. He managed to keep it a secret for a long long time, being afraid that this will ruin his career, he kept it inside for many years, even though he didn’t fool anyone with his silence, he never admitted anything. The father of two boys used his blog to tell the world the news, and he didn’t write just a few words, it was a long post, and at the end of it he admitted being a homosexual man.. Honestly i really dunno what to believe, but if you ask me, i think that the star has been away for a long time, and he needed away to make people talk about him before coming back with a new project, so if he wants to release a new album, he needs a scandal, or anything that will make people remember him. Maybe it’s that, maybe it’s blackmail, or maybe he’s just tired of acting something he’s not.. we can never know.. here’s what he said:
A few months ago I decided to write my memoirs, a project I knew was going to bring me closer to an amazing turning point in my life. From the moment I wrote the first phrase I was sure the book was the tool that was going to help me free myself from things I was carrying within me for a long time. Things that were too heavy for me to keep inside. Writing this account of my life, I got very close to my truth. And thisis something worth celebrating. For many years, there has been only one place where I am in touch with my emotions fearlessly and that’s the stage. Being on stage fills my soul in many ways, almost completely. It’s my vice. The music, the lights and the roar of the audience are elements that make me feel capable of anything. This rush of adrenaline is incredibly addictive. I don’t ever want to stop feeling these emotions. But it is serenity that brings me to where I’m at right now. An amazing emotional place of comprehension, reflection and enlightenment. At this moment I’m feeling the same freedom I usually feel only on stage, without a doubt, I need to share. Many people told me: “Ricky it’s not important”, “it’s not worth it”, “all the years you’ve worked and everything you’ve built will collapse”, “many people in the world are not ready to accept your truth, your reality, your nature”. Because all this advice came from people who I love dearly, I decided to move on with my life not sharing with the world my entire truth. Allowing myself to be seduced by fear and insecurity became a self-fulfilling prophecy of sabotage. Today I take full responsibility for my decisions and my actions.
If someone asked me today, “Ricky, what are you afraid of?” I would answer “the blood that runs through the streets of countries at war…child slavery, terrorism…the cynicism of some people in positions of power, the misinterpretation of faith.” But fear of my truth? Not at all! On the contrary, It fills me with strength and courage. This is just what I need especially now that I am the father of two beautiful boys that are so full of light and who with their outlook teach me new things every day. To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids where born with. Enough is enough. This has to change. This was not supposed to happen 5 or 10 years ago, it is supposed to happen now. Today is my day, this is my time, and this is my moment. These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn’t even know existed. What will happen from now on? It doesn’t matter. I can only focus on what’s happening to me in this moment. The word “happiness” takes on a new meaning for me as of today. It has been a very intense process. Every word that I write in this letter is born out of love, acceptance, detachment and real contentment. Writing this is a solid step towards my inner peace and vital part of my evolution.
I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.
