I never understood why my sexual orientation was important. I thought that once you were happy nothing else mattered. Lord was I completely wrong. Once you aren't "straight", many people think it's their job to judge you simply because they don't understand. They don't understand that you don't choose to be bisexual, lesbian, gay, gender fluid and so many other things. No one wants to be an outcast, even if you shouldn't be judged for things out of your control. I never understood how I became a different person once people find out my preference. I'm still the same person I was two weeks ago. Maybe not so intellectually but I am the same person.

What I truly never understood is why I let them get to me. I don't necessarily know what I am and I believe that's okay. What I do know is that I am happy. I am a girl who is in love with another girl and have been with her for quite some time. I am me. As far as I understand I am who I am, not my sexual orientation.

I urge any one who may be different, to accept yourself. I know it's hard, coming from a person who has struggled for quite some time, but there's nothing wrong with you. You may be different but that is what makes you awesome. You're human, you're capable of love and being loved.
