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 . 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. 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! :icon_bigg
Hello from the other side of the country! (Atlanta) Welcome to EC! P.S. I've been to Southern California and my dad's on business in Palm Springs right 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 !
Welcome from up north!! Also... THEATER GEEKS UNITE!!!!!!!!! sorry had to get that off my chest :lol: (!)
