    (I thought way too long about that title, haha.)

    So hello, my name is Beth, and as you can see, I tend to be an overthinker :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I'm 18 years (existing), and I'm still trying to find myself, but I think I've gotten closer. I'm not label dependent, really, but I love words, and an identity would allow me to paint myself to others in a way they would understand. I think that could be a big thing.

    I'll spare you most of the (admittedly depressing and bleak) details of my story, but it goes a bit like this-- I currently identify as a panromantic asexual, and I did one of the dumbest things you could do in life...I fell in love with my (very straight) best friend.

    I know, I know. This is sounding like a cheesy movie. There are moments where it feels like one, too-- both good and bad. I'm trying to learn right from wrong, and sometimes, I feel like I live an 'almost' life: I get so close, only to have it blow up in my face at the last possible second. But I'm trying, and maybe that's all I can do.

    Anyway, I'd love to make some friends, and I look forward to talking to everyone here on EC.

    Stay awesome, folks. (!)

    hi there! You seem pretty cool and fun x3 trust me, I'm your age, and this is the stage in our lives where we feel like we're living "almost" lives. I feel like once we have the chance to get out in the world on our own, then we'll feel differently xD welcome aboard!

    Hey there! Nice to meet you! I'm a very new member myself actually! I get the whole dramatic love story part. I'm experiencing it myself, where you literally feel you if you wrote it all down then it could be the most melodramatic soap opera known to man.

    Thanks for the welcomes, everyone!
    Pocketwatch, man, I get it. It even surprises me sometimes, and I'm wondering how much of a movie scene I'll be tomorrow XD I should sell tickets to this circus act, it's that insane at times. It's a crazy life!

    Drakey, thanks for the encouragement. :slight_smile: Just keep swimming, right?
