My (nick)name is Essie and I'm 18 years old. I finally took the courage to join Empty Closets, which is basically admitting to myself that I actually am gay. I couldn't even use my full name to do so, since I'm new to all of this and I'm quite frankly scared to death. I'm obviously still in the closet and I'm trying really hard to accept who I am. I sincerely admire each end everyone of you and I hope we could be friends. I'm quite shy and akward, but I'm working on being a bit more confident and a bit less ashamed of who I am. I know I'm gonna mess up, post stuff where I'm not supposed to, etc.. since I've no idea how this website works and I'm really really sorry about it! Please forgive me! Bye! (&&&)

Hello Essie, I'm currently going through the same situation and found myself wanting to talk about it today. Basically I've lived my life ignoring it, but these past few months it feels like it's bubbled to the surface of my mind. So don't be scared, cuz your not alone.
