Author's Diary

Coming out?

Dear Diary,

Here's the tea sister... at the end of last year I broke up with my boyfriend. I did, because I was confused about my sexuality. When I broke up with him I felt unusually sad. Normally if your the one breaking up with someone you don't feel heartbroken, but that was happening to me. So throughout the summer I started to figure out my sexual identity. I ended up having a crush on this girl during the summer, but she ended up getting another girlfriend. Anyway I eventually came to the conclusion that I'm Bisexual and if you don't know what it means, it means I'm attracted to both genders. I was able to come out to my friends, but not my family. Right now I feel like I owe my ex boyfriend an explanation, because I broke up with him through text, because I didn't want him asking questions. I still want to be his friend, but to do that I'm going to have to come out to him, but I'm scared he might hate me for my new identity. Why is life complicated? Thanks for letting me vent...

Sincerely, Bi
