hEY.

Some of you probably already know, IM GAY, I LIKE GIRLS.

If you didn't, well there you go. I'm also asexual and demisexual!

But that's not the point of this chapter.

I've been thinking lately, that I don't feel comfortable being called a girl (the gender I was assigned at birth) or the she/her pronouns. Nor being called a boy, and the he/him pronouns.

Ooooh, I'm so nervous and shaking..

I am sometimes called they/them on Wattpad, and I've never felt more comfortable, and it made me happy, before I even knew I was comfortable with it! Sounds weird, huh?

I'm just--
Uhm--
Hhhh--

I'm just afraid that some of you, and close friends will leave me. (Crap, I'm tearing up.) I call all of you my friends, just some of you are closer to me.

And my real life friends, there are two of them probably reading this after I post this, and they are the closest to me, and I'm so afraid and scared that they won't accept me. (Help, I'm crying.) I know they both support me, and they both are part of the LGBTQ+ community with me, and they know I support them to, but--

I had a dream (a few days ago) that I said I was non-binary to one of my close friends (not one of two that are reading this), and she didn't like it, called me harsh things, and left. I woke up in a panting mess and tearing up, and I was so afraid it was real.

I'm not trying to guilt trip into you guys still supporting me, I just want to be real with you guys.

"I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." ~ I forgot who said this.

So, hi.

I'm non-binary! And would like to be called by the pronouns they and them.

❤︎ Thanks for reading this ❤︎

(I feel really relieved that I typed this to guys. I've been keeping it in for a long time now... I hope you still see me for who I am.)
