    I recently put together a long (2.1 meters) timeline of my journey from the initial thoughts "hey, I might be gay" to now. I included lots of quote from my journal, and from posts on EC. I included cartoons of coming out moments, and also post-it notes to highlight the important events, e.g. first gay night club etc. I used price tags for the dates.

    I just put it into a queer youth art competition :slight_smile: I felt nervous putting so much personal info on show, but I hope that someone out there can get something from reading it.

    Here are some (blurry) photos... I've never attached anything before so I hope it works!

    ...Just wanted to share :slight_smile:

    That's really neat! Is there a clearer pic so that we can see the words more clearly?

    Not at the moment sorry! I took some on my camera (as opposed to my phone) but it's at work! Perhaps I will be able to upload some in a few days.

    That's so cool! Coming out is such an emotional experience, I've often felt inspired to express my feelings through art and writing (but I've never actually done it). Can't wait to see it in detail!

    Awesome. I really, really hope you win. I've written a little story about my first realisation that I might be gay. It kind of comes under art i guess

    Hey guys,

    I unfortunately don't have any clearer photos yet, but I just thought I'd let you know that I WON!!!! =D It was so amazing, when I was there all these people were reading it, and they followed it all the way along. People really related to it. It was pretty cool to experience. And then I won, and I had to go up in front of everyone, which scared the crap out of me! Lol, and then all these people/judges swamped me and asked me stuff and it was soooo awkward cos I was already having an 'anxious' night. But yeah... :slight_smile:
