If you don’t see your flag, dont worry! I plan on drawing more!! (Genderfluid, Agender, and genderqueer are next on the list! And feel free to suggest some in the replies!)
So I am a female and nearly 19 and ever since my late teens I have been confused as hell. Because most of the time (the older I get the more this happens) when I am looking at people where everybody else says 'they are so hot' whereas I just think "Yeah they are conventionally attractive, but that's it". I just don't care about it. I don't really develope crushes or anything of that sort.
Sometimes when I listen to songs about love I have a hard time imagine ever feeling that strong for one particular person. And romances portrayed in regular media (especially films and series) pretty much bore me.
The idea of marriage seems kinda weird to me. Like how do I know that this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with? How do I even differentiate between strong friendship and love?
I feel repulsed by the thought of sex.
But then on the other hand I do enjoy the idea of casual intimacy (is that even the right term?) like hand holding, cuddling on the sofa while reading a book or being held while falling asleep.
And when I try to take into consideration if i am more attracted to a certain gender or multiple or none at all, it becomes even more confusing.
Yet I am anxious about taking on a particular label because I am unsure if i am/was wrong or if it will change again in a couple of years.
This probably seems and reads like a convoluted mess, but I needed to get this out.

Let me tell ya something, anon. Labels are not a limited resource that we need to conserve! Go through those things without a care in the world! If you change from one day to the next, who cares? When you get older it’s kinda fun looking back on all the times you switched flags.
Pay attention to your feelings when you experience them in the moment. Maybe take notes on the context of them. Don’t give yourself too much grief analyzing yourself. Answers will take as much time as they please and won’t move any faster by feeling anxious over them. It sucks. I know. But you’re gonna be okay.

Contest entry for the #ShowYourPride contest over on FA - and also my first submission to FA despite having the account for a good while. I haven’t participated in any sort of contest in a very long time and I’m not sure what drove me to try and participate this time around, but it made me finish a piece for once!
I’m a very secluded, to-myself person. I want to be able to participate in things like pride parades, or wear big gaudy indicators of my identity, but I just… can’t do it. I don’t like feeling like I’m being looked at, I don’t like crowds, I don’t like noise. The things I identify with have a fair amount of discourse within the community over how “legit” they are, compared to the big letters like the L and G. I don’t live in a very queer-friendly area, either, so everything has to stay behind my own front door. So this piece sort of reflects that - watching festivities from afar and participating in my own small ways.
Happy Pride, here’s looking forwards to next year.
