Hi everyone! Thought I should do an intro post to make getting to know this community a bit better. My name is Sarah (as you can probably tell from my user name) I’m a university student from Saskatchewan Canada. Most of my time is spent studying, reading and complaining about the weather. I’m 21 (almost 22) and have been told I am an old soul. When I’m not reading or doing school work I like crocheting, gardening, hiking and camping. I originally learned about the Dev community from a book I read, and it took about 20 more books for me to finally decide to really accept this part of myself and explore this community. I think I’ve know I was a Devotee since I was a teen- but just didn’t know there was a name or groups of like minded people out there.
Anyways, I would love to chat and get to know some people 😊 I love making new friends.

I am also an old soul but that makes total sense considering I am old. 😉

Welcome, always good to see new faces and as someone not figuring it out, let alone owning my devness until a bit later in live, always impressed to see people who have figured it out so young. What are the book you read? (Maybe something new for some of us?)

Welcome to our little club. Feel free to complain about the weather as needed. I would but it’s surprisingly nice out and all the snow melted. But I will come back to this and hold you accountable to listen to by “terrible weather” rants 😉

What are the book you read? (Maybe something new for some of us?) Awe thank you ☺️ it took a fair amount of personal reflection- but im happy to have found a community. I found the idea of the Dev community while reading “To each her own” by Molly Merrin. Not one I would necessarily recommend. But it did get me thinking about finding a community

So glad to see someone your age seeing the value in a community. I was the same as you, a bookish old soul (right down to the crochet) university student when I started to put all my feelings together and realize there was a sexual component to this longstanding "interest" of mine. But unlike you, I looked it up one time, was horrified, and tried to forget all about it for 15 more years. Not something *I* would necessarily recommend lol I agree with you that To Each Her Own speaks to elements of our experience well, as do Ruth Madison's books (some of my early steps into self acceptance were from those).

Welcome! I’m sure you’ll find it really great on here. I was also slow to accept my dev side but I’m so glad I did. I’m in London so I’ll join you in complaining about the weather 😂

Welcome Sarah. I also discovered my devness by reading too many specific books. Could you recommend any?
