I don't know what the deal in my head about pride, sexuality, gender is. I tell myself that I know what I am, and I do, I guess. But the people around me don't. I'm never vocal about it. I instinctively avoid every situation where I would need to talk about it. I tell myself that I would have no problem talking about it. Yet I never do. What am I afraid of? I tell myself that I don't need external validation. That I'm fine on my own. But am I, really? My mind keeps imagining what would happen. Points of no return. I guess in the end it's just fear. It always is.
