So I think I might be bi? But if I am it changes almost nothing about my life because I am happily and monogamously married. But if it doesn't really matter, why do I have so many feelings about it???? Anyways, I am asking you because it seems like there is a 50/50 chance of a delightful and pithy answer or a picture of a bird as an answer.

When I was sixteen I had a crush on my best friend. I didn’t realise it was a crush for years because we’re both girls.

We shared a bed when we had sleepovers and we cuddled when we went to sleep. We snuggled on the couch when we watched movies. We kissed each other on the cheek goodbye. We hugged the moment we saw each other. I always told her she was cute. She was the first person to notice when I changed something about my appearance. Normal best friend stuff, right? Doesn’t everyone think their best friend is the best person in the world? Don’t all girls want to cuddle with their best friends? Don’t all girls get lost scrolling through their friends Facebook pages because they’re just so damn cute? No?

Our parents were so happy we had each other as friends because we were both going through some unrelated shit. None of them ever thought that we were something more. We never had the same rules with each other as we did when we had boys over.

When she got a boyfriend I was insanely jealous. It wasn’t because she didn’t spend time with me anymore, because she would always cancel on him to hang out with me. So I couldn’t place why I was so jealous. So I just ignored it.

Fast forward a few months to them breaking up and her coming out as a lesbian to me. I was happy for her. I was supportive. I was so proud of her for being so brave. I stood up for her when people were arseholes about it.

Fast forward another few months to one of our mutual friends realising she had a crush on me and telling me. I was flattered and it got me thinking. Did I have a crush on her too? It seemed like it, but I knew I liked boys too. I’d had a boyfriend who’d broken my heart. I’d had crushes on boys. I knew that for certain. So why was I thinking this way about my best friend? Could I be bi? No. I’d heard of bisexuality but never anything positive. Bi girls were girls who weren’t brave enough to come out. Bi girls were bi because they wanted to make their boyfriends happy. Bi girls were bi because boys think it’s hot. That wasn’t me. That wasn’t something I was comfortable with. So I must be straight.

My relationship with my best friend stayed the same. We cuddled and hung out and held hands and I felt guilty about it. Especially when rumours about us started spreading. People were saying I was a lesbian too. So we stopped acting that way at school. I wasn’t ashamed, but it wasn’t me. I knew I wasn’t a lesbian.

Eventually I got a boyfriend and she got a girlfriend and we graduated high school and drifted apart.

It wasn’t until years later that I came across the term bisexuality again. In an article I found on tumblr no less. And I read it, a story so similar to mine, about a girl not realising her sexuality for years because there was no bi representation. She didn’t know who she was, except that she liked boys so she must be straight. I thought back to my best friend, realising how much I loved her and that we weren’t just friends. If I was behaving that way with a boy, we would have been in a relationship. I did some research. I practiced saying ‘I’m bi.’ And I finally came to realise that I am. I was 21 when I made the connection of something that I should have when I was in high school.

It all suddenly made sense. Not only my crush on my best friend, but my interest in pretty girls. That when we talked about celebrity ‘hall passes,’ the first ones that came to mind were always girls. It just makes sense.

My point is, this is why we need bi representation in popular culture. This is why characters like Rosa Diaz and Clarke Griffin and Angela Montenegro and Jack Harkness and multiple others are so important. Seeing these characters, this representation, helps people realise that there are other options that aren’t just gay and straight (not that there is anything wrong with either of those). I wish I had seen a character like these when I was a young teenager. I wish I had known being bi was an option and not a negative one. I wish I had seen literally anything positive about being bisexual. I’m not saying my best friend and I would have ended up together, but maybe we could have had something more.

Pictures of Women created by Female Artists using a variety of mostly found, all natural materials. Many of theses are collaborative creations by a duo of artists known as Sister Golden, while others seem to be from different artists. Vicki Rawlins, part of Sister Golden explains some of their creative technique

Nothing taped, nothing glued, just Mother Nature balancing delicately on itself. The actual act of creating each piece, for me, is therapeutic, spending lots of time outside walking and foraging, truly in the moment ... There’s a freedom in knowing everything I’m doing is temporary ... After I finish the piece, I document it with a photograph ... The last step is to recycle it all back into the earth or into my next piece.

Bakery Makes Galaxy Eclairs Coated With A Delicious Swirling Glaze

Cake designs have drastically evolved over the years that the dessert has become more of an eye-catcher than a food. Today, pastry makers are introducing out-of-this-world cake creations that are unlike any other. Obviously, people would prefer fabulous-looking treats over the plain-looking ones, regardless of the taste. That’s how aesthetic feature can influence the preference …

These galaxy eclairs are topped with icing that resemble the outer space along with swirling galaxies and specks of stars. 

The icing is mostly made of sugar and food coloring in blue, purple, and pink. In order to mimic the appearance of outer space, the pastry makers created swirling glaze with dusts of white stars. 

These space-inspired eclairs are not only appealing to the eyes but are also delectable. They come in five different flavors – chocolate, vanilla, salted caramel, raspberry, and pistachio. Músse Confectionery located in Kyiv Ukraine offers you to take a bite on this tiny piece of the universe . . .

Madrid hoy ha amanecido un poco más inclusivo. Será que las disidencias están hartas y van a reclamar lo que les pertenece #bancosinvertidos

Madrid today has dawned a little more inclusive. It seems that protesters are fed up and they are going to reclaim what belongs to all of the people #QueerBenches

Madrid amanece con bancos “invertidos” para denunciar la LGTBIfobia

Colectivos por los derechos y libertades LGTBIQ responden a la desaparición de bancos que se pintaron hace casi cuatro años y que algunos concejales del gobierno de Almeida han querido eliminar. 

Madrid dawns with “LGBTQ+ Pride” Park Benches to denounce Queerphobia, when overnight LGTBIQ+ Civil Rights Groups respond to the disappearance of public benches that had been painted (in LGBTQIA+ Colours) almost four years ago, but that some councilors of the new more conservative-leaning government have wanted to eliminate.

La ciudad de Madrid ha amanecido este martes un poco más colorida. Con la etiqueta de #BancosInvertidos en redes sociales, diversos colectivos LGTBIQ madrileños celebran la aparición de bancos de parques, plazas y aceras con los colores de las banderas que representan la diversidad sexual y de género. A los nuevos bancos pintados les acompañan frases reivindicativas como “Los malos bancos son los otros”, “Barrios libres de transfobia” y “Las calles son nuestras”.

The city of Madrid has dawned on Tuesday a little more colorful. With the label of #BancosInvertidos in social networks, various LGTBIQ groups in Madrid celebrate the appearance of park benches, squares and sidewalks with the colors of the flags that represent sexual and gender diversity. The new painted banks are accompanied by vindictive phrases such as "The bad benches are those others", "Neighborhoods free of transphobia" and "The streets are ours."
