Thread: i need advice on how to deal with not having an outlet to the lesbian and gay...

...community.? I am 20 years old. I am a lesbian and i'm in school to become a preschool teacher because kids are so joyful and sweet. anyway i live with my cousin because of certain circumstances and i appreciate them letting me live with them until i get a place of my own. however it honestly feels as though my soul is just being ripped apart. i know for some its hard to understand, but i love women and i have a beautiful girlfriend, but im still not able to reach out to others. i live so far away and i have to depend on others for rides and i hate it with a passion, so my question is how can i fix this problem or make it a little better without moving out, and no offense to straight people but i know lesbians can truly understand where i'm coming from, but i value and appreciate any ones answer that i get. thank you. be blessed.

How can you be more independent? I think that's your question. Sorry, I'm just a little unclear.

Get a part time job, and buy a cheap car on Craig's List. Sure, it'll be crappy. But it's better than nothing!
