Hi Everyone, I am not normally the type to do online chat rooms and all this stuff but I recently started the coming out process and felt that I needed an additional outlet.

A lil about me. I am 20 years old a State University and come from a very Mexican family. The only person in my family I have told so far is my brother who was shocked and is still trying to adjust. I have told a few friends but still have many left to tell. Every time I tell people it feels great but the moments leading up to me telling them can be very stressful for me. As I have come out I have also been starting to gain a feeling of loneliness, not due to my friends leaving but due to the fact that I have yet to be in a relationship (AND I am 20).

Apart from the sob story =] I am a pretty average person well adjusted to college life. I definitely prioritize school before everything else and am proud to be involved on some amazing orgs on campus. I enjoy going out with friends to watch a movie or hangout and am an occasional drinker.
