Thresholds
Today I want to talk about something kinda weird. It’s how I am neither/nor for so many things. Like I am neither one thing or another thing. I guess the best way to explain it is to just list it.
- LGBTQIA: I’m bisexual but I’ve never gotten passed 2nd base. But honestly I’ve realized I’m a tad asexual but there’s actually a spectrum for it which ( Read more... )

(Untitled)
