    Well, I am new here. I am just now free to speak about how I really feel about myself and my attraction (or should I say need) for other women. My story is complicated I suppose. I came out to a very few people about a decade ago but am only now able to actually start living the life I want. I have a little boy, a grandson actually, who I have legal custody of so I am not as free to be spontaneous like I once was. I don't fit in with the party crowd. And I'm older. So I have no friends with small kids. I made a promise to the man I was married to and I kept that promise. He passed away about a year ago so I am released from that promise now. I don't fit with other widows though because those I know are very straight and I don't want drama. (I told you my story was complicated.) Now I just want to breathe and say without fear of anyone looking over my shoulder that I am a lesbian. Some people I will leave in the dark, but several know now, love me and want to help me connect with others and I am so excited to start a new day. And I'm glad I found this place. So...hi there everyone! :smilewave
