I haven’t been on Reddit since last week, so please indulge my curiosity! What’s the vibe like over there right now? What are the comment sections like?
I deleted my account last week, so I’m going through a “just broke up and want to ask their friends how they’re doing” kinda thing lol. As much as I want the company to be in a tale spin right now, I can’t really trust all the reports I’m seeing on the fediverse, since emotions are high and people are really hoping to see the company flounder.
I identified as bi in high school. By college I was engaged to another woman, and decided to call myself a lesbian, because my assumption was that I would spend the rest of my life in a lesbian relationship. Once we broke up, I just comfortably dropped any specific label. I guess I’m bi by definition. My current live-in boyfriend is also bi. Neither of us really care to define ourselves anymore. We’re with each other as a straight couple, so to the world we’re straight. Our friends and family already know our dating history before we got together, and are supportive no matter how we identify.
I guess as I’ve gotten older, I’ve cared less about labels. Date who you want, love who you love, and be kind to yourself. If your label is important to you, you have a right to vocalize it and embrace it. But don’t feel like you have to paint yourself into a corner. To quote the old MySpace adage: labels are for soup cans <3
