    Happy Birthday, brother, wherever you are.

    I wonder if you'll ever get a chance to get to know the real me?

    Just saw a job posting that specified you must be hygienic. Not sure if this makes me feel better or worse about being unemployed LOL

    Ah okay. Hope you'll hear from your high school about the position, if you haven't already. :slight_smile:

    Bored out of my mind - absolutely nothing to do and still like at least 6 weeks before I'm back at uni.

    Looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. Not looking forward to all the likely confrontations I'll have to make though.

    Seven years.

    Seven years ago today, I found out my sexuality - that I am gay.

    I had posted on here August 9 2013, seeking advice and support. I had already been questioning who I was, and I guess after talking with some people, it helped reaffirmed what I figured might be true.

    It's just so hard to believe that it's been that long ago. Even though there were a couple brief moments where I did question if I could be bisexual or something else, I am gay. Possibly somewhere between asexual and demisexual as well, but that was something I learned about myself at a later time.

    So much has happened these past seven years. It's been almost seven years since I stopped coming onto Empty Closets as much. I can't even remember the last time I actually did log in - probably when I made my latest post.

    For reasons, I did leave, and I don't know if I'll ever really fully "come back" - I'm getting nostalgic as I type this and I look at who I used to talk to, so long ago - people who I'll almost certainly never speak to ever again.

    I doubt anyone active now would remember me. On the off-chance that you do... hello. I don't know if I can respond or see wall posts still, but, just know that I really appreciated getting to know you, and that I hope life has been treating you well.

    (Can't believe I'm actually starting to cry, haha...)

    Perhaps I'll just continue checking in every few months or something, I don't know.

    I just know that for a couple months, back in 2013, this site really did help me. Even if there were some unfortunate incidents on my end that prompted me to leave, I still think back to the conversations I would have, and the support I would give to other people.

    I was in middle school when I first joined. I will be a junior at a university in just a couple weeks from now.

    I wish I could go back in time, seven years ago today, and tell myself, "You will be okay, Nathan. I promise."

    To whoever actually reads this, before it becomes just another forum post... have a wonderful day. <3

    Thank you.

    This is a nice post and good to see how things have moved on for you. Do I remember you? Yes, I do. I'm pretty sure we exchanged a few messages actually.

    It's always nice to know when people are in a better place and to see how this forum played a part in smoothing out the journey. I hope you will return from time to time... who knows, your experience might be helpful to some of our newer members who are going through what you went through.

    Good luck at uni.

    It's normal to feel nervous about being the new member of the team, but you will be fine.

    Not too thrilled about Biden's VP pick. I was hoping he would have picked Warren or Buttigeig, but it is what it is at this point.
