    I've been wandering around the last few days reading your stories and it seemed right to introduce myself instead of creeping around.

    I'm a 22 year old guy from the Netherlands. I've worked in greenhouses a lot and studied horticulture. I like comedy, (old) music, gardening, fishing, cooking etc.

    I discovered like 8 years ago I might be gay but kept denying it until, well now. The reason is that in the region I live it is a huge taboo. I've had lots of issues regarding my self-esteem and recently I concluded it is because of the fact I've been always teached I have way less rights than the people surrounding me because of my sexual orientation. I decided that's crap and I have to live my own life. So, that's the reason I went to this site. I hope to use this forum to discover how other people experience it all. This is really my first way of coming out :slight_smile:.
