this is a goodbye love letter to the bisexual community
I've been struggling, coming to terms with my lesbian identity lately, and it's been extra hard to leave the bisexual label behind since I've identified as bi for nearly 9 years.
But now I'm starting to see this label and the community as a close friend who helped me find myself and made me the person I am today. I don't have to pretend I was never identified as bi. I still hold a lot of affection for this amazing, diverse and caring community.
There's something so special about the way the bisexual community has consistently been a home, a refuge for the unsure, the uncertain and the lost. Like a log cabin in a snowstorm, so many have found warmth and community there when the world seemed so dangerous.
Don't misinterpret what I'm saying, bisexuality is not a phase, it's an identity so many resonate with, and it should be celebrated as such. Today, when I look at my bi flag, I no longer see myself, but I see companionship, I see solidarity and I see resilience.
Thank you, for everything
