Things happen economically that no one actually can control.

I don't talk politics in my journals, but I couldn't pass that by. Tripling the deficit is economics that were definitely controllable, and certainly fueled how I voted.

I didn't say "all things that happen economically are things out of everyone's control" for the record.

No one person can control economics. And some things are the result of many separate policies and choices made worldwide.

My sexuality is not easily boxed into one-size fits all label, but I end up using the most accurate label anyhow because why should I have to explain it anyhow? I get attracted to someone's personality/mind first and then comes physical attraction. Genitals are irrelevant to me in that I don't care which the person has. Bi is easier to use than whatever my sexuality actually is.

If there wasn't social stigma on being in one of the big three: gay, straight, bi, I believe more people would be genital irrelevant. I'm not saying there aren't people who only go one way or the other, I'm saying I think that more people would go either/any way if it weren't for this stigma about being in a tidy box.

The same thing goes for gender, too. If there weren't this huge stigma on being one of the big two: male, female, I think more people would identify as both, neither, trans, etc. I hate these enforced societal rules about these things because it makes so many people unhappy.I classify myself as Omnisexual. Though it is interchangeable with ( ... )

I hate the word gay, because I’m not that, and I hate the word straight, because I’m not that either. I feel like naming something as inconcrete as preference begs for alignment of oneself to one of these groups and their connotations, rather than a verbal way of recognizing something. Bisexual is a wildly inaccurate word as well: I do not have a dual sexuality; I have one that is maybe broader than some people allow theirs to be, but it’s not divided. I don’t really like people that much in general, but my love for individuals has nothing to do with their dicks or vaginas, and I would be pathetic if it did. It’s a weird thing to struggle with, because as much as I’d like to be honest, I think that if I make it a big deal-coming out, telling people-I’m acting as though it’s a big deal to me, which I shouldn’t, because I am me and there is nothing wrong with that. If I give it a name, it will be a name that can be twisted and mutilated, rather than if it doesn’t have one, it stays with me. I am seventeen and have has exactly two ( ... )
