Hi. I'm going to be frank. I'm a bisexual.
I know it seems like a blunt statement to open with (and even as I read it I feel a bit sickly) but it has taken me nine years to even admit this to myself and over the past six months I have gone through the motions of getting out of the closet. Phew!
I have known for a long time that I have been attracted to both men and women. (I think I was nine when I got my first 'crush' on a boy - Not that I really knew what that meant back then...). All this time I pretty much pushed it to the very back of my mind, I focused more on other stuff I was interested in, Music mainly. However over the past two years, my sexuality has been highlighted more than ever before, and by December last year it had become far too painful to avoid the plain and simple facts.
SO I started my first blog; a fortnight away from my twentieth birthday, to remedy that. I checked out davey wavey's blog (www.breaktheillusion.com) and it convinced me that the more you talk about it, the less scarier it becomes and as it wasn't really possible for me to do that 'in real life' I thought that here might be the place...
6 months later (I still can't believe it was THAT short?!) and I'm almost completely out, dating and looking forward to attending my first Pride festival...!
Personally, blogging has been so useful to me and I intend to keep using it to reflect and VENT.
And so here it is. The sequel. The second blog. I hope I haven't bored you ridiculously with preamble!
Comments appreciated, but certainly not demanded.
Sam In Real Life.
