Sometimes you just need to accept things the way they are and recognize yourself as you are. It's something Maksim Novikov had struggled with his whole life. His parents always loved him for who he was but not the people around him. In America though that's different. Maks can be who he wants where he wants as long as he doesn't care about the people who judge him. But when not being completely himself keeps him from being honest with his friends, family, and crush when he needs them most he'll need to learn to open up.

"The one thing I've learned from all of this is to love who you are. Even if the ones closest to you don't. The world's not all black and white. At this point, I'm sure you know that there is a line in the middle. That's where a lot of us are." Tyler Masuka is bisexual. That's all he's really certain about. Everything else about him is really just an unknown blur. Still being only open to a handful of people, he finds it troubling to embrace his sexuality to the general public. Trying to feel more comfortable being himself, he steps out of his comfort zone more and more, all while trying to figure out how to come out to his parents. ----- This is probably one of my most personal stories, mainly because I am bi.
