Hi! I'm a 20 year old female. My middle name is Erin and my first name starts with an A so that's where my username comes from. I don't have an orientation label yet because I haven't figured it out myself. Haven't come out yet to friends and family. I know it probably won't be received well by most, which is why I want to have a label besides "not straight". The label doesn't matter to me, but I know it will matter to everyone else. I definitely have the capability to fall in love with a women. I've fallen in love with a woman before. I have reached the point where I completely accept this about myself. Switching from an attitude of denial and anxiety to acceptance has finally made me feel comfortable in my own skin. Anyway, really excited to have found this site. I've been searching for something like it for a while now. It's definitely hard to feel like all my feelings have to be kept inside - looking forward to be able to share this part of me with others
Happy to meet you, Aerin! It's good that you accept that about yourself. Looking forward to seeing you around here!
Aerin I just joined EC myself a couple days ago and this place is great. Carrying the secret is so lonely but having a place to feel accepted as you process is so freeing. Welcome to the family
