    Hi guys!
    Just made this account and I'm really excited to (virtually) be around people who understand issues I go through. I'm in Southern California and honestly not many people in the city I live in, in my school, nor even my AGE are out of the closet. Then again, neither am I :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:.

    I'm 14, though when people guess my age they say I could pass for a short 16 year old, which I take as a compliment.
    The number of people I've come out to can be counted on 1 hand, probably about 4 - 5. I've known since I was young that I had feelings different from other people, and last year was the year I really self-identified as gay. It felt like the stars were aligning and a LOT of things started making sense.
    I'm of Chinese descent and a first generation American-born-chinese, since my parents left China to come to the U.S.
    The city I live in is a nice place an hour north of L.A., much more suburban than the usual city image.
    I've come out only to about 4 people - one of them being my best friend (we'll refer to her as Flower) and she is my support for when I get depressed. We've weathered a lot of storms and we're basically twins. :slight_smile:
    I am sort of a theater geek, especially musical theater, and I'm classically trained as a pianist.
    So if you can't already tell I've got questions, goodness knows I need advice, and I'm also really excited to be on Empty Closets now!

    I'm so jealous! I went there last summer because I was on the east coast (brother was commencing from college) and I almost didn't leave. I love almost everything about New York !
