Amazing!

So over the past year that I've been out, I've really struggled with how to go about dating or meeting people offline, especially in the area that I'm from. I've been talking to a woman that lives in Canada for 10 months, online/video chat and texting/phone. We hit it off amazingly, but there was always a reason that one of us couldn't get to see the other, at first it was the passport issue, then it was money, family stuff, bad weather being that I live in the northwest and she in Canada... etc. Well last week I decided that I was done with the excuses, got in my car and drove all day to be with her... there is no question in my mind after spending the last two nights with her that I coming out and being with a woman is where I am supposed to be. I have had an amazing two days with her, and to be honest, I don't want to go home lol.
I'm not sure how to put this, but it amazed me that after all of these years being with a man (i'm 42) that not only did I feel like this is the first time that I've sexually clicked with someone, but being with her felt so natural and unlike anything that I've ever felt in my life. Why in the hell didn't I do this sooner?!
Gosh, I hope that this isn't inappropriate to put here, but I've seen soo many people here struggling day to day just like me, wondering if they're doing the right thing, being afraid that they've torn their families apart unnecessarily, or are beating themselves up over putting themselves first and being true to themselves. I just want to share my story, short as it is, so that others might see that the desperation and sadness wont always be there, it will be ok, and you will know you've made the right choice one day. I have not felt this happy, content, safe, free, liberated, and whole since I was a young lady.
Thanks to everyone here for being a part of my journey, I could not have done this without each of you, and I hope that in time I will be able to give the same support to others that you've all given to me! I love this site and I'm soo thankful that it's here. (!)

 

Thanks GreatWhale, I see that you are living on the east coast side huh? Yeahh pretty cold over there! Fortunately, my girl lives near Vancouver, BC, Canada, so her location is actually warmer than where I drove from hahha. I absolutely love it here, soo amazingly beautiful on the islands! We've had some rain & wind, but no snow or freezing temps, so I'm ok with that!!

Thank you Pete1970, and that's why I shared it... I have been soo miserable over the last couple of years, struggling, depressed and when I first got here to EC, other peoples stories like this gave me hope that it would get better some day. It did! I sure hope that I can give hope to others here, and that my story will inspire others to follow their heart and get out there and do what feels like living for them. I finally feel alive!!
