You know when you go through all the stuff you used to go through when you were younger? And then you find your old wattpad account and see all the old internet friends you used to have? Guys I miss you. Can we please rewind like 6 years?

So I was just challenged a few minutes ago to post my "coming out" story on a social media account. (I'm bisexual) I'm rather reserved about my personal preferences, but there is no way in hell I'm losing this three-week-long truth or dare game.
          
          My coming out story isn't as flashy as most, but for me it was a big changing point in my life, both socially and personally. I had known for a few months that I was into both people of the opposite gender and the same as my own, but I was still shy about it and hadn't felt the need to tell anyone about it.
          
          I was in a classroom during a lunch break, sitting next to a few classmates. They were talking about same-sex relationships. They were being rather rude about the whole thing and I knew that they knew nothing about the whole topic and were just saying things to pass the time. I kept my mouth shut, but wasn't really appreciating the things they were saying. 
          
          Then, out of the blue, one of them said "I hate them. Every single one. They're stupid and don't belong here." I glanced over at them and said something before I could stop myself.
          
          "So you hate me?"
          
          All three of the girls gawked at me, eyes wide before immediately apologizing. They then proceeded to ask if I really was gay.
          
          It took me a long time to say it, but I said yes.
          
          It's not that exciting, I know, but it was a big thing for me. It was really the first time that  I had stood up against someone who I thought was saying something wrong. I've since become a lot more secure about the whole matter, but even now most people wouldn't know unless I told them, because I just kind of keep it to myself. That doesn't mean I'm shy about it, by any means, I'm actually quite proud and am a huge supporter for a lot of the recent movements.
          
          The theme of the story? Sometimes you can teach someone something new and learn something about yourself. Don't be afraid about who you are. Take your time and come out whenever you feel it's time.
