Coming out in the 21st century has always been so hard because of my inability to accept myself as I truly am. I am bisexual, and no matter how difficult it may seem to admit to myself, it's finally happening.
Growing up in a Catholic, Conservative, Apprentice-loving household, I spent my adolescence praying that someone would strip me of my homosexuality. That one day, I would awake, my 'dark thoughts' would disappear forever, and I would be exactly what my family, friends, and everyone else wanted me to be: straight.
The first time I realized I was queer was in 2003 when I found myself obsessed with one of my favorite shows of all time, Disney Channel's Lizzie McGuire. I was obsessed with Lizzie from the age of six.
I've always been into men as much as I've been into women; how much was always 'the question' that weighed heavy on my adolescence.
