Hello everybody, I found this forum while searching the internet for answers to some questions I've always avoided asking, and I have to admit: this is an interesting place to visit and stay. Reading thoughts and views from people that either were, or still are, in the place I am right now, helps a lot with the perspective over things and life itself. As for me, a regular 31 years old guy that focused all his life initially on surviving (had to live alone, physically and financially, since the age of 13, nothing that 2 Full-Time jobs cannot handle) and building a career afterwards. I have always tried to make myself be as busy as possible so I won't have time to understand why does my heart beats a little faster, sometimes even experiencing shortness of breath, when I see a chubby guy passing by. Not that now I fully understand it, but I think I have an overall idea on what might be going on with me I really hope I can find here the answers to the "way too many questions" that run through my head, and also find a way I can contribute to the community in return. This message got way bigger than I thought it will be, sorry for the block of text and maybe for the "too much info". I wish you all a great week and I apologize for the grammar mistakes, I will use the "English is not my first language" excuse Alex
Salut! Your English is fine. So delighted you found this site. You've been on quite a journey (being on your own, working two jobs since the age of 13). Here there are a lot of people who are also searching and trying to learn about themselves and what direction they need to take. I hope you will find the answers that you seek. Feel free to ask questions and share some of what you have been going through.
