    Ummm... hello there! :slight_smile:

    I can't believe I got the courage to finally join the forum and I hope I'll be able to meet some awesome people here. I like both cats & dogs! I enjoy artistic stuff like writing, photography and sometimes drawing. I wanna travel the world and meet people from different parts of the Earth! I am also quite femme even thought I have many geeky interests. I like watching anime, reading manga and playing video games and game boards! My favourite place to be is in the metro (weird me) because there are so many people and if you live in America or Canada(or any place with many people from different cultures) I guess you understand when I say that when so many different people are gathered in the same place it's pretty awesome.

    I am a recently identified lesbian that has problems to accept herself and hopes to find some advice. I came out to my brother and 2 of my close friends, but subconsciously I try to repress my real feelings towards other girls. I first thought I was gay when I heard another lesbian girl talking about her feelings and I identified myself with most of what she said. Basically when I thought "Oh, that girl is attractive and I want to kiss her", I thought some heterosexual girls think the same. Turned out for me they don't. After that I spent some time with myself and little by little I tried to face all my past repressed thoughts of wanting to kiss girls and hold their hands and even some of my childhood habits such as creating big collection of girls pictures that I would look at every day, started to make sense now. I've been in a relationship with 2 guys in the past and even though they were really nice I couldn't bring myself to fall in love with them and I never was able to imagine myself falling in love with a guy.

    Now that I reached my conclusion of being a lesbian everything makes more sense for me and I feel like I filled that spot in myself that I thought it's always missing. However, even if I came to terms with who I am I still try to repress some of my thoughts and I find accepting myself a little hard even thought I always was a LGBT supporter. But I guess with time things will be better and I should give myself some space and focus on some other stuff at the moment.

    So, ummm, yeah....this is my journey until now!(pretty boring I guess) Glad to be able to join the EC community here and I hope to meet some nice people! ^_^

    I totally understand what u mean.
    I had a relationship with a guy for two years, trying to ignore my feelings but it didn't work one bit. I did came out to a few people now and it's such a weight falling of my shoulders!

    I bet many others can rely with your story :slight_smile:

    Hello and welcome to EC, feel free to send me a message if you need help with anything or want to chat. I am also a fan of cats and dogs (and an owner of both). I would love to move to Canada is it as nice as people say it is?

    Thanks everyone for your warm welcome and all the nice messages!
    I am so happy I joined this community! ^_^

    @greeneyes101 I will definitely message you if I need any advice! You are so nice! After I came out to a few people a part of the weight was lifted off my shoulders and I felt way better!

    @wolf of fire I used to have 2 cats and a dog, but after I moved I left them at my grandparents and after that I heard they gave them to someone else. It was sad. No I have no pet, but I want to get a dog in a year or so. I just moved to Canada one year ago and all I can say is that it was one of the best choices of my life. People are really nice and here are lots of career opportunities and I love to be able to learn so much from people from different cultures. Winter can be a little rough, but not unbearable. You should visit it and see if you like it. :slight_smile:

    @moderncat I love Toronto! It's always refreshing to live here. Hope you are happy with your new place! ^^
