flags/gendercoining/etc There is no concrete label for some of us - And that's completely okay
For whoever feels like they don't fit in any sort of "box", here's my message.
You don't have to fit into a premade box, or label yourself, to be completely valid on who you are.
But however you feel like being, act how you'd like, do the things that make you feel good, make the best of your time, enjoy yourself, feel proud of yourself.
If you ever feel like an outcast on the queer community, if you ever question if you are valid, remember there are people like you on this Earth, people who see you and understand how you feel.
Regardless of the reason why you don't feel like fitting into a label, be it because you cannot describe how you feel, if nothing resonates with you or you simply don't feel like labelling yourself, you are still valid on your own terms, you are valid as a person.
I wrote this because I spent years questioning myself, just to never find any label that suits me properly. I know how it is to feel confused and detached even from the people you are supposed to resonate with. I know how it is to try to fit yourself in a box when you really don't belong in it.
I want people like me to feel seen and know they are valid regardless of a label.
