I Think One Of The Most Important Things Ive Learned This Last Year Is How Labels Are Supposed To Accommodate

i think one of the most important things i’ve learned this last year is how labels are supposed to accommodate and describe us rather than act as strict parameters for who we allow ourselves to be (this applies to pretty much every type of label but i’m more specifically talking abt sexuality here).

for me, the term bisexual best describes my sexuality so it’s what i use. if in the future i realise it’s not a good fit anymore i can just stop using it and either be label-less or find a different one. changing labels doesn’t invalidate the feelings and experiences i’ve had, it just shows i’ve learnt more about myself as a person. it doesn’t mean i lied abt being bi either, just that i’ve figured out it’s not quite who i am.

realising this has made me so much more comfortable about calling myself bi, bc for a long time when i was questioning i was so scared that i was lying bc i didn’t feel i had enough ‘proof’ that this was a term i could use. but it’s not me that has to squeeze myself into the box i think i need to be in, but instead just living and trying new things and if i feel like i’ve found a place for myself i can stay for as long as it feels right - whether that be for good or not.

hdjsjs so he messaged back saying he only sees me as a friend and on the one hand i’m really sad bc being rejected sucks but i’m also really proud of myself for telling him?? bc this was he first time i’ve told someone directly that i have feelings for them, so it’s still a win??

just messaged my crush and told him i liked him and now my adrenaline has peaked and im using it to get thru my revision slump haha

always remember when ppl say “what about the kids?!1!” in response to any minority group receiving protections or even just rights - they specifically mean straight white boys who aren’t being harmed in any way
