So you think you’re a lesbian huh?

You have the feelings for girls that most have for boys, you unintentionally have fallen in and out of love with your best female friend and you’ve discovered the internet’s closeted fixation on lesbians from The L Word, and  South of Nowhere, to Between Women and Th3M yep your hooked… but now what?

Coming out can be the scariest thing in the world. I remember being utterly terrified of anyone finding out. When I got my first girlfriend I even cut of the (a) at the end of her name and told everyone I had a boyfriend so I didn’t have to hide my happiness but just as any little secret that you keep in the dark, it came to light and I was forced to deal.

There were no more discussions about me falling in love with the “person instead of gender” I was a homo and even my last boyfriend had the revelation before me. It was hard though, trying to learn the lingo, meet new people, and don’t even get me started on dating…

But it did get better, I met a few people that I liked enough to want them to stick around. I developed my own little lezzy circle, found comfort in watching television shows that portrayed more people that were like me and I repeated to several if not all of my friends that THIS IS NOT A PHASE!

At the time I probably wished it would have been, and trust me if anyone had the choice, they wouldn’t choose discrimination, and hate over what society deems normal.

Truth of the matter was… I was the most normal person I knew, and I was happy because I was finally letting go, coming out, and coming into myself. So what advice would I give to someone who has just come out of the closet?  Live your life the way you want! There are no rules to this lifestyle, and just because your a lesbian, it doesn’t mean that you have to automatically dress different and pick up different hobbies.

DONT CHANGE
