I hate to steal attention.. - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Gingy · 15th Jan 2012, 10:34 PM

I feel like I am stealing newbies attention, by posting this. You see, it was a year ago I first found EC and it became my home quite quickly. I was an EC addict spending a lot of time in the chat room and the current events aarea. I loved it here. After about 6 or 8 months I made a rash decision and deleted my account. I was so free to be myself. To embrace who I really am here, but in reality I wasn't able to embrace such freedoms and I felt as if I was living a double life and I wasn't comfortable with it. Its been about a half a year, but I've slipped back into a dark place and I know the only way I am going to be able to get out of this rut, is to return "home". I plan to stay. Thank you, EC for welcoming me back.

P.S. my screen name wasnt Gingy, I don't thnk using the same name is right.
