I’ve been thinking a lot about identity and how it can sometimes feel like a puzzle. There are moments when I feel like the person I am on the inside doesn’t quite match the body I was born into. It’s a strange kind of disconnect, like looking in the mirror and seeing someone who doesn’t fully feel like me. I’ve always been drawn to things that feel more feminine, even though I was assigned male at birth. It’s confusing because I don’t fully identify as either, and I’m not sure if that makes me gay or something else entirely.

I’ve heard people talk about being transgender or nonbinary, and sometimes that resonates with me, but other times it doesn’t. It’s like I’m stuck in this in-between space where I don’t feel like I fit neatly into any category. I’ve tried to cope with this by telling myself I’m just gay, but deep down, that doesn’t feel entirely right either. It’s hard to explain, even to myself.

Lately, I’ve been trying to accept things as they are instead of fighting them all the time. Maybe I don’t need to have all the answers right now. I just want to find a way to be comfortable in my own skin, even if that means not conforming to what society expects of me. It’s a slow process, but I’m trying to focus on what feels right for me, rather than what others think I should be.
