Well it's like this.. I am a small town country girl.. I'm 17 years old I play softball and run track... I have always been a tomboy .. and I have always wanted to have a girlfriend and was always attracted to girls ever since I could remember.. here recently I have been depressed thinking maybe I wasn't gay maybe I'm not really gay maybe I like guys .. maybe it's not right... but I have learned that whatever is right for you SCREW EVERYBODY ELSE.. I'm getting better me and my girlfriend (we have been dating 7 months) she is my heart.. I want to spend the rest of my life with her she is the only thing that has helped me threw this... I have learned you got to accept who you are and who you want to be instead of trying to accept something you're not... I have lived with my dad since 5 years ago my mom just left .. people say that's just the problem but even before my mom left I wanted a girl.. I just came out to my family and friends and there not taking it to good.. but you got to keep in mind there country, Christian people down here.. it's really rare down here but you got to be strong.. I'm almost 18 and I'm going to start my own life.. I have worked my ass off saving up money just so I can get outta here soon.. me and my girlfriend going to get our own place.... I'm going to go to college in Tennessee on a softball scholarship... so I have got my plans pretty well drew out .. but anything can backfire but as long as I know who I am and what I want I can't go wrong... so let me stop by saying everybody knows what they want in life.. don't be afraid to work for it .. and please don't be a afraid to accept yourself because you're a human being just like everybody else it's just that lesbians normal isn't like everybody else's normal and that's what makes us unique.. be proud of who you are ... cus I'm proud as hell I wouldn't be straight if I had the chance... I love being a lesbian and loving my girlfriend.. that's who I am.. and I'm not afraid to accept it... well I have blabbed enough.. just remember what I said... good luck to everybody.. I loved everybody's story on here too!!!! I hope I didn't bore anybody....,
