I'd like to introduce myself to you all. I've known that I'm bisexual since the age of 13, and I'm 42 now.

Being bisexual in Bosnia is very lonely for me. I have 2 daughters and I'm a single mum with 2 unsuccessful heterosexual marriages behind me. I don't really go out much so not much opportunity to meet other bi or lesbian women. As for local online communities, there's practically none, or at least I haven't managed to find them. But I'm not giving up, as I really long for connecting with other women like me.

This is why I'm so happy to be a part of this community. In my country there's still a lot of stigma, but I've always been open about myself. I'm a very unconventional person so I'm used to being stigmatized, marginalized etc. But, this has taught me a valuable lesson in life.

So, instead of staying silent, I openly share that I'm bi with people I encounter. This way I know if they are a valuable presence in my life. The ones that get scared of me or judgemental towards me, are not my people. And the ones that are open and accepting, are my kind of folks.

Life has been a Rollercoaster and I have learned to value myself, my wellbeing and my time, and to carefully choose my people, my battles and life experiences I give my attention and energy to.

I look forward to meeting you and getting to know the amazing women that you all are. 💗💜💙
