Saying hello

Hello :)

I'm new to the site, and in all honesty this feels strange to me reaching out to people through a forum site. It also feels sort of scary because I'd like to share things about myself, but at the same time I'm afraid if I share too much I'll be judged or reacted to the same way people react to me in real life when I tell them about my life. I'd like to find a safe space to share things about myself, but at the same time, I don't want to scare people away or overwhelm them. I also don't want to put too much on the internet about myself, but at the same time I really could use a friend.

All in all, I just hope that this is a good adventure for me. I'd like to find a place where when I'm down or when I need support, I'll have a place to find it. I'll have people who will still be around, when no one else is for me.

Anyway, I hope I didn't ramble on too much, I'm just sort of voicing my apprehensions about becoming involved on this site, but at the same time I'm excited, this seems like a well modded community of good-intentioned people. I really hope to explore the site over the next few days and talk with some thoughtful people.
