Automatichuman - Rocks And Pretty Things

Spectacular volcanic landscape. Original caption:

“The Kamchatka Peninsula, rugged and remote, is a vast blade of land stabbing southwestward through cold seas from the mainland of northeastern Russia. Its coastline is scalloped like the edges of an obsidian dagger. Its highlands rise to cone-shaped volcanic peaks, snow-streaked in summer, and to ridges of barren rock. It’s a wild place where at least 20 percent of all wild Pacific salmon go to spawn each year, creating an annual feeding frenzy for the local brown bear population” - National Geographic

Seeing other gay people in public is such a therapeutic experience like every time I see two girls or two boys together like holding hands or on a date I get like 5 years added onto my life

This is uncomfortably accurate and I’m sad now

I'm aroace in the way that I desire romantic/sexual relationships but don't feel romantic/sexual attraction. I also get incredibly uncomfortable with romantic/sexual advances. Why am I the way that I am...

So I know a lot of people have already answered this, but I supposed that I would put my two cents in, too. To me, being bi means that you are attracted to men and women and non-binary people because of physical appearances, genetalia preferences, etc. (sorry, there’s no great way to word that second one). To be pan means that you are attracted to people because of their personalities, and gender and genitalia don’t matter.

Hello💕 Can you please explain the difference between bi and pan bc I'm trying to figure out where I fit into this and I'm not sure which one I am thank you🖤

Hi! So I’m not sure I’m the best person to ask about this as I’m a little unclear about the difference as well. I believe that the difference is that bisexuals are attracted to men and women whereas pansexuals can be attracted to anyone. This includes nonbinary people, gender fluid people, and I guess everything in between. As well, you can label yourself as anything that feels right to you or you can choose to not label yourself! Sexuality is fluid and you can always change your mind. This is what I know but if I’m wrong then feel free to correct me.

(okay so this definition was wrong but I feel like I shouldn’t erase my mistake but instead acknowledge that I was wrong… Anyway, I put a better definition up and so have other people)

Life happens around you when you're in the closet

You learn the word gay and you see the flags and you know one of them is yours

And everyone else around you is living their life while you figure out which one is which

Who am I attracted to

What are my pronouns

Am I attracted to anyone

Who am I

And the friends you know who have a handle on how to express themselves well

They're having their first kiss

They're going on their first dates

First girlfriend first boyfriend

First anniversary, meeting the parents, learning what it's like to have a significant other

You're fighting all these terms inside your mind

And you don't even know which word fits you so how do you tell someone what's going on

How do you get help if the people you're supposed to be able to turn to aren't for certain safe

So life goes on outside the closet you're looking from

One day you'll join, I promise you

I promise you because I have joined life as a queer person and there's so much of life to live little one

One day you'll live in the sun as your full authentic self and you will be okay

It took years and years for me

Past middle school pubescence, past high school struggles

Past college for me

Past early adult years

And let me tell you

There's comfort in the closet but the truth in the light of day will feel like home, you'll see

We'll all be here when you're ready

It’s best read with the tune of ‘the wheels on the bus go round and round’
