lets talk labels

how did I know what was the right label for me?

truth is, I didn’t know how to label myself until 2020 or if I even wanted to…

Everyone has their own path of figuring out and developing who they are.

Growing up, we are forced to always think about the future. Where are we going to be in 5 years? What job will we have? What kind person do you see yourself with? What kind of dreams do you have? Stop thinking about all of those and focus on what really matters… you. Focus on who you are and what you are needing and wanting in this moment. BE HAPPY.

Before meeting Morgan, I was still figuring it out. I wanted to please everyone around me more than myself. I wanted my life to be easier on the outside so that I didn’t have to full decide what was inside. I was so conflicted with wanting me something that I wasn’t. Labels helped me when I felt the most lost within myself.

Labels work for some people and may not work for others. If it helps you in guiding yourself to who you truly are, then go after that label. If you don’t want to label yourself, that it perfect okay to do so. Society puts us in all these categories on who and how we are supposed to be, but we don’t have to do that. We can be whoever we want to be.

After ending it with my first girlfriend, the idea of being with a man was scary but was easy. It was something that nobody questioned. But in me, I knew I was gay and always have been. After being with my partner for some time now, people still have their opinions on how they want to label me but that’s their choice. The only thing that matters is what I feel and know about myself.

When I came out to myself and fully embraced the label of lesbian, it was the first time I felt relief. I felt like me.

Go after people who bring you joy, love, laughter, and so much more.

LOVE WHO YOU LOVE. LIKE WHO YOU LIKE.

speak out for what you believe in, label or not.
