    Hello Fine People,

    I stumbled across this site yesterday, and I am excited to find this community of people who are going through a similar life-change.

    I am 57 years old, and have spent a lifetime hiding from myself and everyone else. At the end of October last year, I had an epiphany/breakdown and decided to change my life. In past five months, I have nuked my closet, come out to my friends, started dating, and found one special man to share some important 'firsts' with me.

    It's overwhelming, exhilarating, scary, fun, and amazing. I wouldn't go back to my life five months ago for a million dollars.

    I hope to share more of my story in the forum for us older folks in the coming days. And I still need advice on a few remaining issues, so I look forward to meeting anyone with some wisdom to share. :icon_bigg

    Better is the understatement of the century. And I'm at that age where the line between late and never is very, very thin!

    Thanks for the warm welcome!
