This an entry for myself. I just have a couple of friends in live journal and I still can't find the time to make a fancy journal page. It will soon come!!!
Well...for future reference...here is a little part of my story:
My name is Niels and I am originally from Venezuela (south america for those who don't know...he he).
I moved to the US about two years ago. The reason behind it....well....to get a college degree in the US and to get away from all the mess going on in Venezuela. My life has changed quite a bit since I moved. I have become a more mature and complete person. I am now sure of who I am and what are my sexual tendencies.
You see...I come from a very protective and conservative family.The problems and worries that my tendencies would cause to my family I can only imagine. This is what keeps me from revealing myself to them, I don't want to cause them any more trouble.
I started to feel I was gay when I was like 12, when puberty started to hit me I guess. I was never sure about my tendencies till I was about 15, I even dated girls for exactly 4 years. I stopped those "activities" when I moved to the US. I was sure that the US would offer me the perfect environment to let my true self come out. So, my dating days with girls ended and my truly happy times started.
The destiny took me to Nebraska, a quiet and farm-driven state, the land of the corn husker. My first two years were more like an experimental phase for me. I started to flirt with guys, even when I wasn't sure about their tendencies. I started being more liberal and more open to people, maybe all related to the fact that I finally felt free to be myself.
To make a long story short, I am currently taking summer classes before I move again, but this time to Illinois. This will probably mean more opportunities for a gay guy like me to discover himself and besides that...I think it is the place where I am supposed to be in order to achieve my dreams and goals.
Well....enough of the boring and intelectual talk!!
If someone gets to read this....well...don't be alarmed...this is just an introduction.
