    Hey EC!

    I'm 21 and I'm still in the closet. I haven't had any relationship till now, and I sometimes feel lonely and feel as though I am wasting my youth. I have a close group of friends, but no one knows that I'm gay, and no one is gay among them or in my family (that I know of).

    I've struggled for a long time to come to terms with the fact that I'm gay, and I am now happy that the idea no longer embarrasses me or keeps me up at night. I am still a long way to go to come out, but I now look forward to making friends in a similar situation as mine, and one day meeting someone. I'm hoping that joining this forum will provide me with encouragement and support through my journey. Cheers!

    Matt
