Andreus Says Yassoo

[Andreus]

hey guys

whats up

[Kimi]

Hellow and Welcome to empty closets(!) (!)

I wish I have something interesting to tell but not much. It's been pretty normal. What about you though??

Hope to see you around:smilewave :smilewave

[Andreus]

ohhh

my world has been really rather turned upside down lately

my little brother came out about a year ago and I am trying to help him find an online community that he can participate in

and if i meet a few new friends as well that would be great too

[Miaplacidus]

Hey Andreus, welcome to EC!

(By the way, are you the same Andreus from "that other site"?)

[Andreus]

i am one in the same

and thats more than enough for this universe

lol

thanks for the welcome buddy

hugs

[paul7836]

Welcome to EC or welcome to your brother...

Are you greek? I judged by the topic. My mom is greek... really greek.

[Andreus]

well i will probably pop in every once in a while myself also

me and my brother are half greek and half persian

my father is from athens and my mothers family are persian refugees that currently live in split croatia

me and my brother live in boston massachusetts

we are real greeks

yuppers

[paul7836]

im in seattle. Im glad to know im not alone. My yai yai would flip if she found out... And well then the whole family knows... the gossip circles. you gotta love greeks.

EDIT: my mom is from north-western greece. (I dont really want to get more specific)

also, i have never seen that spelling of your name.

[Andreus]

well they will love ya anyway

and it will give the whole bunch of them something to talk about for a few years

and you will get to be the center of attention

YAY

[paul7836]

LOL. yah. probably. Wouldent i love that.

[Andreus]

thats the best part of it all

owning the spotlight that is GAY

hehe

i came out when i was sixteen

[Miaplacidus]

I'm from Uruguay, lol.

I remember you clearly, Andreus. I didn't know you were Greek though.

[paul7836]

yah. If i came out, my parents would probably do something dramatic. And make it bigger than it is. Im mainly afraid of what my dad will do. My mom will just tell me to hush up like she already has...

[Andreus]

I'm from Uruguay, lol.

I remember you clearly, Andreus. I didn't know you were Greek though.

i remember your name as well, buddy

didnt know what became of you

yah. If i came out, my parents would probably do something dramatic. And make it bigger than it is. Im mainly afraid of what my dad will do. My mom will just tell me to hush up like she already has...

my dad didnt handle it well

but i could have gone about it a bit more tactfully

its the kind of thing you remember all your life so you have to take your time and do what feels right WHEN it feels right

im sure it will all work out

[paul7836]

Its just really dark in this closet. Where were your Persian relatives from originally?

[Andreus]

well they lived in a small town just north of tikrit for about a thousand years... or so the family stories go... i can vouch for the location, not the length of time there.

before that i am not quite sure

[paul7836]

hmm. Why i asked is beacuse i have some relatives that are also persian refugees. I thought it would be increasingly odd odd to meet them on this forum.

[Andreus]

where are they from? what area? and where did they wind up?

[paul7836]

they are from Armenia. the two parents met in Greece i think. And moved to Ontario, Canada. I dont really know anything else...

[Andreus]

we are all scattered to the four corners thats for sure

old world families are very traditional

your closet isnt as dark as all that

its just a little deeper than most and it will take some time to navigate

[paul7836]

Well... im partially out. And im not alone. So i guess that helps. I still don't know how to say im gay in Greek... and well asking anyone i know would definetly get me dirty looks.

[Andreus]

the greek word for gay is floros

there are lots of words for it actually but that is the nicest one... lol

but you may want to use a language that you are comfy with if you are going to talk to your dad

let him come to you

it will make him more comfortable when you decide to do it

[paul7836]

yah. sounds about right... I learned all the greek swears i could ever want to by rolling down my window while on a greek highway. :D

[Andreus]

we are not shy people thats for sure

[Behling]

Welcome to EC!!!!!!!!!!!!
Message me if you need anything

[paul7836]

thanks for that.

I think your brother will probably have a great time here.

[Andreus]

yah

i hope he will

hes alot more shy than me and he isnt really great at using english yet

he just moved to america about ten months ago

i am having fun here so far so i know he will too

[paul7836]

well... I was a lot more shy before i came here. It opened up my world and my mind.

did he move from greece?

[Andreus]

yah

athens

he came out and my family decided he needed to be around me and live with me

i wish i had had an older gay brother to help me out with the whole thing when i came out, but im not sure Mitri is always as greatfull that

i am sure im alot more protective of him than he likes but....

its just my way... lol

[gmoney]

Hi Andreus! You know who I am. I stopped by here this evening myself to see a place that perhaps would enable me to assist others who have so many resources you and I didn't have when we really needed them.

[paul7836]

I wish i had a gay anyone to help me through it. Your brother is more grateful than you know. In greece, their seems to be a lot more freedom for kids...(I got back from a 5 week trip there a few days ago) so hold on to him. What really opened my eyes was when my friend from next door was talking about sex as if everyone had it at 14 or something. (mabie thats usual?)

*remembers the time he had with Yourgos*

[Andreus]

*remembers the time he had with Yourgos*

well he loves me and i love him... im not happy when he goes out on dates but thats just me putting my stuff on him... if you know what i mean...i just want him to go slow and he wants to go fast

and i went fast when i first came out too

i guess thats why i want him to slow down... i wish i had taken more time to deal with the emotional stuff before i jumped into the romance part

we all find our own way i guess

[darlingstacy]

well hello there. fancy meeting you here...

[paul7836]

well... its instinct to jump into dating after getting out, especially when you are in your teens. i probably will, if my dad doesn't lock me in my room or something else dramatic.

[Andreus]

well hello there. fancy meeting you here...

hello princess

smooches

well... its instinct to jump into dating after getting out, especially when you are in your teens. i probably will, if my dad doesn't lock me in my room or something else dramatic.

just take it slow

im sure your dad wont lock you in your room

he may need some time when you decide to tell him to adjust to the idea of it

but you will always be his son

do you have any brothers or sisters?

[paul7836]

yep a sister, but she has her own problems... Shes in greece for another month, and well is a bit of an I couldernt keep a secret from mom if my life depended on it. I guess my cousins are the closest i have... but they are all on the other side of the country. Well im off to have dinner. Ill be back later. (if my parents dont steal the keyboard)

[CrimsonThunder]

Hi Andreus - welcome to EC! It's good to see you here.

Hi Andreus! You know who I am. I stopped by here this evening myself to see a place that perhaps would enable me to assist others who have so many resources you and I didn't have when we really needed them.
