2018 is something I want to start off right. Though everything in life will not go the way you plan it to, one thing that I plan to do right is to tell everyone about my sexuality through my own words, no one else's.

We should not let the fear of loving another human stop us from loving at all.

Sexuality and sexual preference is always handled in a private matter. Everyone knows about, but no one truly speaks about it. And when it is spoken about there is hate, judgement and fear. But I believe 2018, will erase 90% of those comments.

Sexuality, I believe it is something that helps mold you into something greater. It is an expression, an experience and a journey.

I want this year to be openly honest, wholesome and spectacular. 2018 is a year I want to live up to my fullest potential , smile and hold no regrets. Holding my sexuality in for years is a regret that I should have admitted to the moment I realized what it was.

One thing a lot of people do not know about me is that I am bisexual.

My sexuality is only known to my closest friends and some of my family. This population of people have accepted me and didn’t question me about it, which I’m thankful for.

I decided to keep this a secret for a very long time because I was scared. Scared of what people might think, do and say. Or they think it was a joke. But that fear held me back from being completely honest with a lot of people. It held me captive. It made me feel less. It made me lie.

I’ve come to realize that there is absolutely no reason you should fear your own self. And everything you feel, believe and are.

Today I realized that there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed about.I wanna be true to myself and to everyone else. If I were to pass suddenly there would be this sort of secret that I held within me, which should not have really been secret.

Being bisexual has already halted some of my relationships from forming, simply because the person doesn’t understand me, my life and my view. They say its “a phase”, “you're confused” “you should keep quiet about that sort of thing” but those are their opinions not mine. It is not a phase, I am not confused, and I will not be quiet.

I am sexually attracted to both men and women. Both genders hold a special place in my heart, both make me feel alive, welcomed and make me burst of excitement. One does not dominant the other in my eyes, This attraction to both has given me a new outlook on other people and happiness.

You should embrace every little thing about yourself. You only get this one life to live so why not live it fully and truthfully.

Love the human you want to love. And let nothing or no one stop you from loving.

Sexuality, Sexual Preference and Orientation is not your label, not your definition, not your conclusion, not your weakness it is just one component of yourself.

It’s 2018 people, and I am proud to happily say I’m bisexual and proud. And I only hope you embrace your true self too.
