    ..that I properly introduced myself. :slight_smile:

    So yeah, I'm Mercuree, 25 - from South Africa.

    Calling myself bi until I am totally sure but leaning towards gay. Still mostly in the closet but am telling more people as the days go by, and the idea of coming out is at the front of my mind constantly. I keep dropping small hints just to lessen the blow or create a seed of suspicion amongst my friends and family (not that I expect it to be a huge issue).

    So I kinda burst on the scene here without so much as a hello and you all were welcoming, friendly and full of helpful advice. I truly appreciate and value that. I think I have found a great place to make new friends and to help others where I can, especially if I identify with them - coz that's all we mostly need right? Someone to identify with..

    I would say I still have lots of issues and stuff, but I will gradually overcome these and am looking forward to becoming a well rounded and happy person, with your help.

    So thanks for accepting and helping me so readily and I look forward to upping my post count here! :wink:

    (*hug*)

    BTW please feel free to ask me any questions that come to mind. I think through answering them I can only come to better understand myself! :slight_smile:
