Thank you for reading my story. It's something truly special to me, and I really hope you enjoyed it. 

Over the course of several years, I struggled with my sexual identity—hell, I still struggle with it. I identify as pansexual, but sometimes I feel a certain pressure to "pick sides". The reality of it is that it really doesn't matter who you love. It doesn't matter if they're a woman, a man, or identify as neither. 

I've often wished I weren't me. If something doesn't work out with a girl, I'd wish I were straight. If something doesn't work out with a guy, I'd wish I were (completely) gay. 

It's important to accept yourself for who you are and never lie to yourself. Always be honest with yourself because that's really the only honesty that you can guarantee. 

To write this story, I blended emotions and feelings I've experienced over several years. I tried to turn pain and happiness into something almost tangible. 

With time, I believe that we will all find our happy ending. Just never forget to be honest with yourself. 

Again, thank you. I would be nothing without you all.
