Hello! So I have been thinking a lot about ny sexuality for awhile, ever since high school, and I used to think maybe I was ace? I just didn't understand other teens wanting relationships, but I never judged those for wanting them of course. However, I ended up making a wonderful guy friend, who is now my boyfriend, and honestly, over the last couple years, I have come to the conclusion that I am demisexual! I'm so happy to finally out a name to how I feel, though I know it's not really necessary to "be me". My mom and friends are also supportive, and my guy is super sweet and patient with me me, so I know he won't rush things. I don't know if any of this is actually of interest to anyone, really just something I wanted to get off my chest, and I felt comfortable doing that here. I am curious to know if anyone else here is on part of the LGBTQ+ community and if there others that fall under the ace umbrella of identities and more!

I'm so happy for you for being able to put a label on who you are! I know when I finally figured out my identity (bi/demi), it felt like a huge relief. Labels can be restricting sometimes, but in some cases, they are freeing. Finding my label felt like figuring out that I'm a normal zebra, not just a weird horse, you know what I mean?
