@i4livies no, thank /you/ for being brave enough to venture down this journey and sharing a part of it with us. navigating orientation is a difficult path, so I really admire the bravery you've showcased by even asking this question. personally, while I do not identify as a lesbian, I also recently read the lesbian masterdoc and identified with a lot of the things written there--I think what you said at the end is what's most important at the end of the day: choosing the label that you feel is comfortable and reasons more with what you feel currently. for me, that's pan, and if for you, that's sapphic, that's perfectly all right. just remember that you should always put yourself first, you will have supporters on your journey if you need them (so happy for you to hear that some of your family had a positive reaction btw!! <33), and that sometimes at the end of the day you don't always need a label. love is love & you are you <333
