    Long story short, I went to a literary event last night, and I realised: "Questioning" :rolle: Who am I kidding . . .?

    Hi, my name is Sig.
    I'm a woman.
    I'm sixty years old.
    I'm gay. (Not keen on the term Lesbian for myself)

    So, although its only to my friends on EC, this is my first official coming out thing.

    :slight_smile:

    Nice to meet you Sig. I like your coming out thing. I am at a similar place and have felt more at home with myself since I came out to myself, my counselor and here.

    I hope it feels good to claim who you are after a long winter of denial.

    Peace.

    Thank you all, my friends, I appreciate you all more than you know, and would never have come anywhere near "this me" without you.

    Ahhhh! Very good. You have taken the first step. It won't necessarily be the easiest one but we all have to start the process somewhere, and what a better place then EC. Congratulations!

    Yes, welcome to Closets Anonymous, Sig. We're all here for you. And don't forget the punch and cookies we have set up. Now, tell us your story . . .

    Wow, it's bad to do a parody of Alcoholics Anonymous. Either way, good for you! Keep on smiling! ^.^

    Well done Sig.

    There is no freedom like accepting yourself.

    If I remember the phrase right; "Embrace and empower within".

    Again, thank you all. Y'know if the world was full of all of you, I (and many others) wouldn't have spent life lonely.
