"I had some ideas for a long time, but it did not seem like a fact until I was supposed to meet someone for a drink and I found myself 'shocked' for the first time in a long time. Everything she said seemed so smart and so funny to me and I certainly assumed that the drink had fallen on my head, until I got home and realized that I had felt that kind of energy only before, when I really liked someone. The fact that she was not a "he" - was surprising, but not so much the fact that I finally started to have those strong feelings of consent again. Nothing happened between us, but it was the moment that made me reformulate the way I saw myself and I started to realize that part of the reason why I felt so safe in these strange spaces, is because I was (and am) bisexual.

"I'm not at all comfortable with being labeled 'bisexual', but that 's mainly because I do not like any labeling! When I found out I loved the idea of ??women as much as men, I was scared.

Giving myself the freedom to realize that I am attracted to men, women, and anyone else in between has made me I feel even more like the person and woman I am supposed to be. " - Alexa, 26 years old
