Well I am going to start by saying it straight out. I am a Pansexual and Panromantic person. I don't really remember when I started realizing that I wasn't normal, but I do remember talking to my sister, let's call her Lyke. Lyke herself is Arrow, or Aromantic and Asexual and she helped me a lot through this. She explained the different orientations to me and when she explained pansexual, it sparked my interest.

Later in 7th grade I was joking with my friends and it hit me. I was pan. I talked it over with Lyke and she only confirmed my suspicions with it. I was pan and I was very proud of it, though I was afraid to come out to my father and I don't remember if I told my mother. But Lyke supported me, my friends supported me and I finally told my dad. He was a little weary of the idea at first because he was lowkey homophobic but he accepted me. I was ecstatic.

When I came out to my friend though, his brother heard me and looked at me odd. He asked me if I did pans. If I was attracted to children and inanimate objects and stuff like that. That hurt, but I corrected him politely but he still makes fun of me to this day. I ignored it until I found an E4E club at school and I met my two new friends let's call them B and S. They're both pan like me and S is demiromantic. I was so happy to finally meet someone who I can relate to.

I'm out of the closet and have been since 7th grade. So yeah, I'm so glad that I found out who I really am because it was bothering me for years, cause I always felt attracted to anyone. Just now I am Demi-Pan-Sexual and Romantic. People says it's not real but hey, who am I to judge their opinion. Now I'm in the 9th grade and still going strong with my sexuality.
