    Hiy to anyone who giving the time to read my little introduction.

    I don't really know where to begin as this is all completly new to me, talking about my sexuality. I've never spelt it out before. But here goes.
    I'm a 25 year old woman who lives in a pretty rural area in Scotland (LGBT is somewhat still alien to people around here). There's a strong mixture of opinions on the subject with both young generation and old.

    It's been an interesting journey so far. A year ago I came clean to myself, that alone was huge! And eventually I started to feel ok about it. I accepted it to myself. From there Lots of things started making more sense too. Realising that as far back as school, I liked girls (even though not fully seeing this myself at the time, or wanting too maybe) I guess I've always found something attractive about woman. Sure Ive had boyfriends and I was even engaged a few years ago but it always felt like something was lacking. So I'm giving myself the time and space to figure myself out. Everyday some things seem clearer and easier to deal with, other times not so much. All I know is I like woman, I know I'm more attracted to woman than men. I do get on with men and find some attractive and have more male friends than woman. It's the opinions of others that terrifies me. I don't want it to but it does. My pride is my downfall.

    In time my confidence may help me venture further but for now, I want to thank EC for the opportunity to meet people, going through similar issues. Already I feel so much lighter just rabbiting on a little. Thanks
    Have a great day everybody.
