Default New girl about town

Hey guys! I'm new-ish and stuff and decided to join after lurking for a night. Hah. I usually only join sites after lurking for, like, a year!

But seriously: Hi. I figured I would need to join this place sooner rather than later. I need people to talk to about, um, all this stuff that's taking up space in my mind; it's still too hard to talk about it in real life. Even with a gay best friend who I tell most everything to it's too hard to talk about. Yup, I'm that confused girl. A girl who is now somewhat-maybe sure that she likes girls but wonders if she likes boys also because she's never questioned her sexuality (when, really, she should have, why should she expect to be heterosexual, damn those societal norms), so she's still unsure and has lots of doubts and sometimes moments of clarity. I'll stop talking about myself in this person now. Nice to meet ya!

Hey! Welcome! Glad you decided to join EC... there's plenty of cool people here who will be glad to listen and offer support whenever you need it. That being said, I totally understand where you're at... I was once that confused girl. Dating boys, never once entertaining the idea that I may be queer... And alas, here I am today, openly in a relationship with this great girl. I'm so much happier with myself now that I know and accept it. Hang in there, you WILL figure it all out! Don't hesitate to fire me a message or seek out kind words of advice from ECers here on the forums if you need to. Anyway, it's very nice to meet you. Enjoy your stay! ;] Take care.
