Hello. I wanted to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Peter and its been a long journey to get here. I am embracing my homosexuality later in life after repression for so many years but there is no turning back either. I have come out to a few people but am alternately terrified and excited for what is coming up. I am under no illusions but its something I want to do and that is have people accept me as a gay man.
Welcome to EC Pasinhose:smilewave I wish your coming out journey will be excited and spared from grief or negative response. but in any case we have your back (&&&)
Hi pasinhose, welcome to EC! Young or old, we have all gone through the same feelings and the same desire to live an authentic life, to be ourselves at last. Good for you for coming here and joining us, post often and engage in the conversations, you will learn much and I trust you will have much to share.
Peter...I wish you good luck and good fortune. No change as big as this is easy. I found EC later in life and haven't come out yet, in fact for the sake of others in my life I may never be able to come out. But I have EC and a growing group of friends here encouraging me all the time. Again...I wish you the best.
Hello All who have replied. I cannot tell you how much it means to have others support me. It means so much I am getting a bit emotional now but I am so glad I found you and EC. Peter
Hello & Welcome to EC, Pasinhose!~ I wish you all the best on your journey and urge you to post up any questions/experiences you have in the forums. Everyone here at EC is really supportive and I think one of the things that have really helped me personally in my own journey is the process of building up a great support network so I hope you have that or will have in the future. Best of luck! -MvH
