I've had a colostomy my entire life. It made me quite the outcast. In school, I was ridiculed because of my bag, which has pretty much made it impossible for me to trust people and tell them. So, as you can imagine, my dating history is quite sad, not much more than me dating a guy who ended up being gay and another who I ditched because after 5 dates he ended up wasted 4 of the nights. I really would like to meet some people who will understand what I go through, and hey, it might be nice to enter a relationship without the looming fear of what will happen once I tell them. To top it all off, this year I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, which is arthritis of the spine, so as you can see, I'm the pinnacle of good health, lol.
