Hard time!!

Hey Tracy and Stamie,

This is my story of being gay from Holland.

I have always known that I like woman but have hide it till I was 24 years old.
On 21 I was fall in love with a girl from work and it felt very intens for me and there was a chemistry between us but I haven´t done anyting with it.
After a couple of months she went home too New Zealand and with the goodbye she looked deep in my eyes and my heart was running through my chest.
Then came the time of feeling down and don´t wanna be a gay woman because in my eyes it wasn´t good for a woman loves another woman.
Also was there a time that I don´t wanna go on with my life anymore but thank god it was not very long and I become happy with myself and make myself stronger.
On 24 years I game out to a friend and a year later to my parents.
The reactions where very good but still have I trouble to be open about being gay.
Now I´m 30 and can say that im proud and I choose me.

Watching the real l word on you tube and reading Chely Wrights book like me was very inspiring for me.
Its nice to see or read stories from other people and knowing that you’re not alone.

Thanks for everything.

Greetz Jo.
