“I kissed a girl and I liked it.”

To this day I’ve never been able to pin point where these feelings came from. Awkwardly catching my self-gazing at some girl across the room as she runs her petite fingers through her glistening hair. When I began to play men’s hockey I’d nonchalantly observe the boys and “fan girl” over them with my friends, like any teenage girl.

I’m not simply into girls; boys are also in my interest. In this very sentence I’m going to come out to myself, I am Bisexual. The amount of anxiety and discomfort it took for me to type that out was unbearable. Just typing, I am bisexual, makes me burst into tears and take it back, but I cant because it’s true.
