Hello everyone, I figured since I just joined it would be nice to introduce myself! About 4 months ago(?) I finally accepted myself as being gay. I had been curious since the age of 13-14 but didn't really know what it all meant. And around 15-16 I thought to myself "I think I may be gay". But I pushed the thought to the back of my mind because I was scared. I first came out to my mom about 2 months ago. That actually went really great, very little of my family knows yet. But I'm slowly but surely coming out. It honestly feels so great to finally accept myself. Anyway, I'm rambling now. Looking forward to browsing the forums often and hopefully someday becoming a full member ^_^.
:eusa_clap Cheers to you taking so many bold steps so early in your journey! It's so great to hear not only have you accepted yourself, but your mother has embraced this as well. Wonderful news! So, in light of this, welcome to EC! Hope this place helps you as you travel down your path.
