Yup, keep us posted. If you feel shy about it, just writing about it helps in many ways.
I used to be very secretive and even ashamed about my feelings and thoughts in general, especially of those related to my gender or sexuality. It was one of the aims of my presence here on this forum to overcome this and to learn it's normal to be open. The first posts were a torture (and it still is a cute little torture
), I was sure noone's interested in my clumsily worded halfbaked opinions and trivial experiences. While it might be quite true, it's also beside the point. Being able to talk freely about oneself without a need of others' approval is a key to self-acceptance and self-assertion and many struggle with that.
