I pretty much came out to myself. I have been lieing to myself for so long that I'm scared to even get out there. I'm 49 and trying to see if I really can get out there. I have been hiding for so long that I am pretty scared of putting myself out there. I just want to start out having friendships. Then see where it goes. This isn't easy for me because I haven't been out there for about 12 yrs. yes I know that's a long time. But I was waiting for someone a and now I'm not waiting any more.

Ahh, courage!
