Why does it matter so much how you label me?  Why can't you just accept me for who I am without having to stick me in a box?  Why is it that we love these words that are only that, words, and that is all that they will ever be.  Words.  Not feelings, not people, not emotions, just words.  Yet they still hold such power, power that we seem to be oblivious to.  So we throw around these words because they simplify our world, and as a society, we love to simplify.  And again we are oblivious, oblivious to the fact that somethings can not be simplified.  Sometimes you must see the whole confusing picture in order to appreciate its beauty, in order to gain some semblance of understanding.  Some things, many things, the world, myself, we do not simplify.  The world is not black and white, nor am I.  And there's not only gray areas, when you look closely you can see the briliance of colour that is humanity, the world, me.

I am many things, I am not many things, that is just how I am.  That is just who we are.  And I hate when people try to pin down exactly who I am, because there is no exact me.  And when you try to find her, you lose so much of who I am.

I am not straight.  That, is a fact.  But do not take this fact and try to twist it into a label that you can stick on my forehead so the world can judge me.  No, I will not tell you if I am a bisexual or a lesbian, because I really do not know.  I do not know because I do not care to know, love is love, and labels do not change that.  Yes, I like girls, and I accept this fact, but it is only one part of who I am.  And I am so many things.

I am me, that is all I ever will be, all I ever want to be.  And no matter how you try to label me, judge me, chnage me, I will always, and only be me.  Because there are some parts of us, that just never change, and some that never stop changing, you can define people, because there is simply no way to define us properly.  There is no way to define me properly.  You can try, and you can judge, but that won't change me.  Maybe it's time for you to realize that.

I like music, writing, art, warm weather, the ocean, waves, the wind, and yes, girls.  But that is only part of me.  There is so much more if you're willing to just accept me for who I am, for I am willing to do the same for you
