What makes a woman attractive to another is no different than what makes a straight person want to be with a man or woman. Also, I don't think that one day you just realize you are gay or a lesbian. For me, coming out was the hardest thing to do, because I knew it would be really hard not only for society to accept, but also for my family. But then I realized it wasn't for anybody else to accept but me. To this day, I still don't expect anyone to accept me or my sexuality, but I do expect them to respect me for what and who I am.

Being with a woman was a wonderful experience for me, and I hope it always will be. I guess what I have a hard time with is the fact that lesbians and gays can and do have serious relationships and do love each other, just as straight people do. We also get hurt and dogged out. Just because you are a lesbian and can relate and understand what another woman goes through doesn't mean that they don't take advantage of that. I would not be happy being anything else because this is who I am. As for what I look for, I look for what any person would: I want someone who treats me right, respects me, can communicate with me, trust me and tries to understand, listens and is there for me when I really need them.

I had a problem telling people at first because I hadn't yet accepted myself and was scared of how people would react, and that I would be mistreated. Now I don't care and don't have a problem telling anybody.
