Hejsa!
As the Danes say.
yeah I'm from that beautiful little country in the Northern Europe, we are by the way also the happiest country in the world and I think we have been for the last 5 years. Denmark is an amazing country, but we do have our problems. In Denmark we have this unwritten social law called the Jante law and what it basically says is don't promote yourself and don't think your better than anybody else because you're not. Everybody pretty much live by this law even though they hate it. Here almost everybody let you do what you wanna do as long as you don't over step the Jante law to much, that doesn't mean that bullying isn't a thing it is just like any where else.
Why is this relevant? You might think.
Let me tell you why... Firstly if you understand where I come from and understand that where I come from is very different from places like the US you will be more likely to understand me (even though I don't) and secondly knowing that my first language is Danish might help you bear over with my grammar and sometimes weird phrases.
So I should properly get started on my story...
It starts quite a few years before I was born, it starts the day my mom found out she had sclerosis. She and my father had to turn their life up site down and just as everything started to get normal I came, I have no idea if I was planned or not it's not something we discus in my family.
I learned quite early that I was different from my fellow peeps, the first year of school everything was more or less a bliss I had my guy friends... But the next 7 years was, when I look back, utter hell. I was bullied a lot The first 2-3 years and pretty much ignored the next 5. I had a few friends during this time and found another world in books, so I was alright. I'm surprisingly, not thankful but, this time have made me strong.
After these years in hell, I started at a Danish one year boarding school thing and there I met some truly amazing people. I met my best friend, Sara, she is just amazing and even better she thinks I'm amazing too. This year helped me get closer to who I am.
It helped me get to terms with who I am as a person, and by finding that out my brain quickly moved on to the next part of the puzzle (me), my sexuality... At first I thought it was a no brainer, I had always looked at boys so I said to myself I'm straight but a few month later I met my former boyfriend and it was nice kissing him, but it was only nice! So I started thinking that maybe I was into girls, a month later I came to the conclusion that I was gay and broke up with him. Not liking my boyfriend enough wasn't my only reason to think this, I have always ( at least I think always) been questioning my sexuality but it wasn't something I really thought about until a year or so ago.
So right now I'm just really confused and my brain don't seem to be able to find the answer, which is a first, and it's really frustrating not to be able to really talk to anybody about it.
and just to make every thing a little bit worse I started at a new school almost a year ago, the school is great and filled with a lot of great people, but Sara now lives 2 hours away so we barely get to see each other and she is normally the person I would talk to about this stuff but she has her own problems and I don't want to burden her with mine too.
the doctors also think I might have sclerosis too like my mother so I also have to deal with that, which is just great (watch out for sarcasm)
but anyway I'm Regitze, I'm 18 and I'm looking forward to talking with you guys...
