I enjoy writing and reading. I will watch absolutely any action movie; I love them all! Sunny weather automatically lifts my mood an it is th best weather for all of my favorite activities like going to the beach, surfing, hiking or rock climbing – the outdoors are the greatest. But if it’s cloudy, you’d have trouble getting convincing me to leave my bed. rnI love animals, especially dogs. I’m currently volunteering at my local humane society. I’m currently in college and still figuring out what I want to do, either Marine Biology, Literature, or Film. I love traveling and hope to see the world!

I identify as being attracted to two genders – women and men, in my case -and while that is absolutely true, my bisexuality is slightly more fluid than that. As a rule of thumb though, I love the ladies and the gentlemen.

That we’re a varied bunch, no two bisexuals are the same. Bisexual does not automatically mean you’re promiscuous or are incapable of a happy monogamous relationship or monogamy in general. You don’t have to actually sleep with both genders to be considered a bisexual.

It’s kind of a funny story. It’s not as if I’ve always know I was bi since I was a small child. Rather around the time I was in middleschool, I saw the movie V do Vendetta, which has side-story about a lesbian. I was enamoured by the story and particularly by that character, which lead to a general interest/curiosity about lesbians. Later on in high school, it felt like I had a random epiphany. It was never that I questioned whether or not I was gay or straight, but more of suddenly asking myself “do I like girls toto?” and realizing that th answer was yes, I am bisexual.

Coming out. I sort of came out on my 17 birthday, when I told my parents. They were somewhat understanding but accidentally scared me telling me about the myths of bisexuality like you can never be fully satisfied in a monogamous relationship or that it’s really hard to have platonic friendships since your attracted to everybody. I later chickened out, when my mom later asked if I still thought I was bi, I lied and said no. I once confessed to two close friends, but that was a long time ago and I don’t know if they remember it, since it’s never been mentioned since then. I am generally just very nervous discussing my attraction to women around them, so I guess time will tell if I get better at this 🙂

Everybody is sexy. It’s twice the sexiness!
