    Hi... Sorry, oh my god, this is so new to me so apologies if I'm acting a little strange. Let's try again.

    Hello, I'm a bisexual girl, and it's a relief for me to find a place like this because I always feel so alienated all the time. Growing up in a very heteronormative society (a half-religious primary school as a kid and surrounded by homophobic peers throughout my time as a teenager), it took a while for me to realise that I was (am) bi and I often feel like an outsider to the whole community, so it's a lovely thing to find a place like this where you all seem nice and accepting, especially as I'm not 100% sure that I accept myself.

    And, of course, it's typical of me to make my first post on here a bit of a downer, so, I hope you all have a lovely day/evening/night! I'm mostly here to feel a little less alone, I think. It's always nice to remember that there are others like yourself in the world!

    - EmeraldEyes

    (PS. I type in italics because I'm a bit pretentious, there's really no other reason.)
