finally out and about!

Summarized, here is my story.

I had always felt that I liked women, as far back as middle school..although I had no idea what it meant to feel that way and it felt strange. I finally admitted to myself in early college that I knew I liked women and felt such relief to accept this..even if only in my own head! I was terrified to talk to any friends about it, thinking they'd doubt me for my lack of "proof" (never being with a woman), or they'd let it become an open topic among others, which i was NOT ready for. I remained very secretive about it for so long only because of fear of rejection and shame...I traveled to Costa Rica during college and finally "expressed my desires" with another woman there.. FINALLY I felt open and comfortable with myself.. I was so happy.. I've always dated men and have been quite a jumper in relationships (one after another) but have had my experiences with women as well..at this point in my life I identify as queer...sometimes bisexual can hold such a "who do you like MORE?" question.. I'm openly attracted to women and still in the process of becoming more open.. as I meet more GLBTQ people, I relate to others, feel even more comfortable, and become more accepting of myself..I'm very happy at this point with my sexuality, more happy with my comfort level with my sexuality.. go me.

so in short, there it is.. it's great to read others' stories as well, so helpful.. we're all on our own path, but we can all relate... thanks for reading..
