SPEAKING ITS NAME

[manyfacesofme22]

Hi, flist.

Well, it is the eve of the most important exams I have sat thus far in my life, so obviously I’m going to talk about

MY SEXUALITY.

Ahaha what is this “supposed to be applying for Oxford” of which you speak?

Anyway. For (*thinks*) probably about two years I have been seriously considering being a homosexual. Yes, I am pretty sure I like

From a basis of no experience, you're simply not going to know. I'm totally het, I've tried both ways but I am absolutely het. However, I have relatives and some very good friends who are gay/lesbian and I honor their choices.

I don't think you are automatically excluding a huge percentage of the population. Many people are gay/lesbian, others are bi, and then there are those who are het. You just need to find the appropriate path for you, and that won't happen until you have put your toe in the water and tried to swim. Do what feels right for you, and as Elua proscibes: Love as thou wilt.

You sound like a very calm and sensible person, which Heaven knows is what I want right now. Thanks x

I suspect that I have many years on you, so I can speak from the viewpoint of looking back on the days of my youth. I know how intensely life can affect a person when you are young, and how it is hard to look far ahead, but you feel as if everything that you do has such meaning in your life. Just remember that as much as the intensity may seem overwhelming at times, it is just one day in a long list of them. You will pass into the next day and it will give you the joy and benefit of a greater perspective. Nothing that you do will change everything for your entire future, as long as you think a bit before you act. That's hard when emotions and hormones come into play, but if you can master it, you will be much happier in the long run.

Good luck with your exams and with your life.

Oh dear, I didn't mean to make it sound like I'm having a really horrible life - my life is generally very nice, just also very confusing.
Anyway, many thanks.

Oh goodness, not a horrible life at all, just at a crossroads in your life, one of many you will have throughout it.
