    Hi!!

    I am "TheSeeker" and I am 25 years old, male, and definitively Bisexual.

    I am in the midst of my coming-out maelstrom, and I have really cherished the support and advice that I have gotten here on the two weeks I have been on EC. It feels amazing to not be repressed anymore.

    I intend to stay a member of this community well after I am out and about. You guys do amazing work, and I very much believe in what goes on here.

    So, I guess a little background for me:

    I was born in the Deep South (Atlanta), grew up in SW Colorado, and love anything and everything to do with being outside. I have worked in the past as a Park Ranger all over the country and intend to do so again as soon as I am rehired by the agency.

    I just got back from a 27 month term with the U.S. Peace Corps in Morocco, and am slowly recovering from that... The First world is tough to come to terms with when you have lived so long in the Third. I came out to myself as Bi (finally) while I was in the Peace Corps, and have been working my way out of the closet ever since. It is very exciting, but there is still plenty of nervousness left. For instance, I haven't yet had the guts to tell my parents.

    So, I will stay here on EC asking advice until I am fully out, and giving advice (both solicited and unsolicited) for as long as you all care to listen to me blather.

    Thanks for being there!

    -The Seeker :kiss:
