I am bisexual. This is not something that I’ve said to many people. I’ve come such a long way on my journey of self love. Embracing my sexuality is lot easier than it used to be.
It’s hard to know there are people who won’t accept me for who I am. It’s hard to deal with the stereotypes we often have to face. People often don’t understand what it means to be bi. No, it doesn’t mean I am greedy or sleep around with lots of people. It doesn’t mean I need to have multiple partners. It doesn’t mean I am attracted to every person I meet.
It means that I love who I love, regardless of gender.
The hardest part is having to be afraid. Of being so scared of certain people finding out. This is my life, and I don’t want to spend it being afraid of what others think of me. It’s a process, I’m learning to overcome this.
Embracing my sexuality has made me feel more free than I have ever felt. I still have a long way to go. It’s not fun hiding and being afraid. But I’m taking things one day at a time, and I’m trying my best to be true to myself.
November 3, 2015 at 7:14 pm #86695AnonymousInactiveThat’s right,
It is your BIRTH RIGHT to live life however you choose and you have the right to create what ever it is that you want in your life, with whomever you want. Even if it’s the same sex. You deserve to be happy, so you should always do whatever makes you happy, when it comes to having a partner to share your life with.
You will be fine, as you’ve already taken the step to be honest and true with yourself. Your happiness is and should always be your #1 priority – It doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks of you, what matters is what you think of yourself. You will continue to see doors open, as well as having an abundance of happiness revolving in your life if you stay true to yourself and your sexual identity.
You have ONE life to live, so live it being free of any worries and go out and create a happy life for yourself that you’ve always wanted.
Sending you lots of love & light!
November 4, 2015 at 7:23 am #86727AnonymousGuestDear Ashley:
I like your definition of being bisexual: “It means that I love who I love, regardless of gender.” I think this is the best definition possible, by far. And I like you stating what being bisexual does not mean. The more people reading this definition, reading what it is and what it is not, the more people will be educated. Since you are so articulate and in the process of moving forward in spite of fear, I wonder if you could spread this message, this very definition, the listing of what it is not to more and more people…?

November 4, 2015 at 4:52 pm #86766jenifaParticipantGood evening!!! I felt so relieved reading your post for several reasons. I, too am bisexual and I also have had a hard time with the stereotypes put upon us. I was once married and felt I had to identify as a straight woman, then after my divorce I proudly claimed my bisexual status. When I tried to date women, the Lesbians rejected me, and I read so many forums that went on and on about how we are greedy and such. Then when I started dating a woman I took on the label of being a Lesbian, all the while explaining to people that the core of me was that I am bisexual who chooses to live the lifestyle of a Lesbian. Confusing, to people I guess…..well I read somewhere that a woman married and still identified as bi. No need to change who you are to make others comfortable. Just because you marry a man or a woman does not make you no longer bi. It was like a light bulb came on for me. So now I express myself according to who I authentically am in each and every way. I let men and women know that I am bi, and let them sort it out for themselves!!! I LOVE ME DURN IT….NO TURNING BACK NOW!!! 🙂
