was he a man, but he was also a Muggle. Well, is. Because we’re still
together. It’s hard sometimes, but we try to communicate and the

more we understand each other the more I fall in love with him.

I think I’m finally alright with the fact that I’m obviously bisexual, or

at least not gay, or straight, even though it took some time for my
workd to find its axis again.

I know I’m lucky because I live in a very accepting environment and
the only enemy I ever had, was myself. When I started doubting

being gay, I felt like I was betraying Colin, and I started hating my-
self for it. Then I hated myself for even doubting I was ever attracted
to him. I think if I didn’t have support, I wouldn’t have made it out

alive, truly. My friends convinced me that I was not betraying
anyone, that it was alright.

It’s important to look for support when you need help. Parents,
friends, teachers, anonymous call centers or anonymous penpals..

Never forget that you are not alone in this and that if you need to
talk, do it.

I’m sure some other people will talk about struggles about their
sexuality with more accuracy than I can. But if I know one thing, it’s

that a label is never eternal, you can always question it, change it,
update it. It’s your life, and you’re the one who gets to decide what
you want to be labelled as.
