Yours Truly, Bi Desi Girl

How often do you meet a bisexual desi girl?

I Guess Coming Out to People Just Happens

I hate that when I bring up the topic of the future I don’t get excited. Who will I be with? Which guy will I get into an arranged marriage with? Which girl will I have to hide my feelings from when I fall in love because I can’t tell anyone in my family? 

It hurts that I can’t tell my family about my crushes. It hurts that I can’t be openly myself. It hurts that I can’t be openly bisexual.

I’ve come out to four people in the past year, which is four more than last year. I’m glad that I did. But on this occasion of National Coming Out Day, you don’t have to come out to anyone if you don’t want to. I just want to say that you are valid and nothing can make you more you than you being you.

Coming to Terms With Yourself

I am a closeted Indian girl. My closest friends most definitely don’t know I am bisexual. And I don’t feel obligated to come out to anyone I know.

I am bisexual. I am truly comfortable with who I am. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so comfortable in my own body. Whether it be the stretch marks that hug my hips, the hair that covers every inch of my body, or the way my smile makes my eyes look like they’re two different sizes, I don’t think there is anything that has made me happier. I am happy to be me.

I looked in the mirror and I felt beautiful for the first time in my life.

It’s taken me 18 years, but I am glad I have found myself. 

I love me, finally.
