    Hello, awesome internet people!

    I'm a twenty-something year old lesbian currently living in a really rural, conservative area. Since there's zero lgbt+ community around here, I thought I'd try and find some relatable people online. I've never been a part of an online community before and don't really know what I'm doing, but this place seems cool and friendly :slight_smile:
    Good to meet you all! :smilewave

    :bang:
    (Omg, these smiley guys are fun, hehe :'D I've spent an inordinate amount of time staring at that one. The repetition is addicting... )

    Hello Vael!
    I can relate. Also why I ended up here in the first place. Still confused about everything, including this site, but everyone is friendly and I'm happy to have found this place.

    Hey Vael. I'm Cam. :welcome: to EC.

    The people here are friendly and supportive and it's a great place to talk to people from the whole rainbow spectrum.

    This is my one and only online community. It takes a little getting used to but you'll get the hang of it.

    Thanks :slight_smile:

    Hi, thanks!

    Hey :grin:
    Yeah, I'm a bit confused too, haha. If you ever feel like talking, feel free to message me :slight_smile:

    Thanks, Cam!
    Haha, yeah, the forum system is confounding me a little, but this certainly seems like the kind of place worth getting used to :slight_smile:

    Hello Vael, I would like to just tell you that you have come to what I believe the best forum for your problems. I have only been here less than 24 hours and I have already gained confidence and happiness from some of the people here. I would recommend that you check out some of the other threads here on this website if you would like to keep yourself busy with reading replies, because i love doing that myself. So Vael, what are some of your hobbies? ❤

    Hi!
    Thank you for the advice; I'm glad you're liking it here so far too :slight_smile:
    Writing is my most occupying hobby right now, though I'm sooo horribly slow at it because I get awful writer's block, haha.
    What do you like to do? :grin:

    *hugs*
    Thanks :slight_smile:

    Hey :grin:
    Cool, I'd love to!

    Yay! Synchronized dancing bananas, haha
    Hey :slight_smile:


    Hi! Thanks :slight_smile:

    Thank you :slight_smile:
    And omg, I love your awesome kitty signature!
