discovering your orientation is like untangling yarn. it takes a while to sort out, is frustrating, and depending on what identities there are identities there, along with how large they affect you, it could take a long time.

sometimes, you’ll find yourself with some pieces knotted together so tight, that you have no choice but to cut them apart. this can damage what you are severely, but it can be mostly fixed by tying the matching pieces back together.

when you finally untangle one color from the rest, it is such a wonderful experience. you have successfully cleared part of the confusion, and now have less to sort through.

eventually, you’ll have it all sorted out. each yarn is rolled into neat individual balls, and with them you can create something beautiful, which you can choose to share with others, or choose to keep to yourself.

maybe someday you’ll find someone (whether it be a good friend, datemate, or soulmate) you want to make something beautiful together with, and integrate both of your yarns together to create something bigger.
