Default My awkward introduction...yay

Hey everyone I always have trouble with introductions...here it is...

I'm an 18 year old bisexual female from Texas. As many of you probably know, it's not the most accepting state. I guess that's why I'm here. I mainly hope to deal with some self-hatred and acceptance issues I'm having with my orientation. Hardly anyone in my life knows, though I have a few friends that would probably be accepting so I'm also hoping to maybe work up the courage to tell them. Maybe if others know and are okay with it that will help me accept myself.

So anyway...that's about it. I'm looking forward to being able to talk openly here
