Hello! I never know what to write in posts like this but I always feel like I should write some sort of intro when I join a new community.
I've been hiding my "dark secret" in shame since I was a kid, and felt so ashamed of it that I never remotely sought out anyone else who shared it. I felt totally alone with it, especially given I like birds. I've met a lot of "fiction only" people and that's cool but it always felt bad that I couldn't truthfully agree.
That is, until I landed a boyfriend who it turned out shares my interest. It feels like a one in a million chance. He's opened my eyes to the fact this community existed, that there's plenty of stuff out there and people who share my interests. (even in birds!) Consciously I knew that there had to be some others out there, but I wouldn't have even known where to start without him, or felt the courage to go looking.
So, hello! I'm looking forward to being here!
