I can speak from experience that it brings me comfort to have labels for what I'm feeling and labels that help me define who I am -- it's actually very cathartic. :)
>>>>>I can’t make you understand what it’s like to go through that, but I can tell you that it brings tears to my eyes when I think about how many questioning people in the asexual tag I’ve helped to realize that yes, actually, they are asexual, and no, that’s not a bad thing, and yes, that’s a real orientation and yes, it’s okay to describe yourself that way. People are confused and hurting, and they need to hear that their experiences are legitimate. If a simple label can help, then so be it.<<<<
Thank you for being there for others and for helping them and bringing them comfort. <3 It warms my heart to read this. :) I found this very touching. <3
Oh! lol :) *reads the second sentence* I guess I missed that the first time around! Oh well. :)
Thanks for sharing the article. <3 It's always refreshing to read these types of articles and know that there are others out there encouraging people to accept themselves as they are without feeling the need to explain or justify it. <3 We need more people like that in the world. :)

I should mention that none of these are mine. They're from an article about labels in sexuality. The author is asexual.
