    hello!

    i'm 29 and i live in switzerland (thus the silly username).
    i'm a very closeted lesbian (although i'm quite certain one of my closest friends knows) and that's why i'm here. my goal is to come out this year that i turn 30 because i just cannot keep up this act.
    it scares me a lot, but i feel like i'm not getting any younger, and i want to start living... if that makes sense :slight_smile:

    i've poked around (and read the rules) and this seems like a very welcoming place.

    Hello and welcome!
    Yes, you are right, this is a vey welcoming place with many awesome and kind people.

    I understand where you stand right now and that coming out is frightening, but you will see that it'll be a big relief to be able to live your life open and authentic.
    I have only begun to come out but it already feels so much better.

    Nice to meet you! I am also a newbie and looking for friends I can be honest with as well as answers if anyone has all of them :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    But you're right. This already seems like an incredibly welcoming place :slight_smile:

    Welcome to EC! Coming out is tough, but ultimately rewarding. You will be so much more comfortable not having to worry about it anymore! Also, Switzerland looks amazing. I would love to see it someday!
