Hey all,

I've been coming around and reading post here since i joined MFP about 2 weeks ago. I figured might be good to say hi. It is really encouraging to see this group. It is always challenging for me to align myself with groups like this not because of hater reasons but, more of me accepting my own genderbendy nature internally as well as publicly.

I think you all probably have had those friends that not only live in the closet but, call it home. I'm working on not doing that because its not fair to anyone, least of all me.

I feel like the more someone can be free to be themselves the happier they will be. Also, you're able to have people get to know more of you and less of the fake persona we put off. I have had these thoughts for the last five years and now its about taking the small steps to try and walk it out at the ripe old age of 31. lol...

So this is me...31 years old female who more/less is a social worker in the foster care field. I enjoy traveling the world,reading, music(both playing and listening), dry humor, nerdy things. I'm kinda shy and love learning. Where i live now doesn't have the beauty of the great lakes in Michigan although it is nice being in a different state living in a bigger city were you don't know everyone.

i'm looking to lose weight,feel more comfortable in my own skin and maybe make some friends in the process. I look forward to getting to know you guys.

Cheers
