Hi everyone, I'm a 25 year old woman who is for the first time in my life thinking I am a lesbian. I have always identified myself as straight and I have never been with a woman. But, a few months ago, something just clicked, and I knew. I'm ready to cautiously proceed in the hopes of one day finding a woman I can share my life with. I am worried that because I'm coming out at 25 and not 20 or less, that people won't take my knowing seriously. I am in need of some LGBT support in this time of questioning. I welcome all well intended advice. Thank you
Welcome! Just because you came to this realization in your mid-twenties doesn't mean that it's any less true. There are some people who don't come to terms with their sexuality until they're 80! You are not too late, so don't think like that.

Please don't feel like it's too late. 25 isn't old. I'm changing (is that the right word)?at 42 and (slowly) learning to understand myself.
Don't worry! Sexuality is really complicated and often takes a lot of time to figure out, and sometimes even changes over time. It took me a really long time to figure out my sexuality and I'm still learning! There might be people that don't understand, but that's just how it always is. Try not to let it get to you. Also, welcome!
