Forty Eight

'My name is Avery, and I'm bisexual. It took me a while to be able to come out and say this because I struggled a lot with accepting myself. A few months ago, I met someone, and he made me feel things I hadn't felt in a long time. My inability to accept my feelings at the time made me do things I wasn't proud of. I hurt him and pushed him away because of my own insecurity, my own doubt. I had time to reflect and really think about what matters most, and I came to a realisation. I realised I was more ashamed of the fact that I had hurt someone I cared about than I was ashamed of admitting my feelings for him. So here I am, trying to make amends, and also trying to come to terms with my own sexuality. I realised nobody can be as unkind to me as I have been to myself, and to him. I want to do better and live as my true self from now on. Thank you for taking the time to read this long caption, and I hope you continue to support me as you did before.'
