"I’m totally bisexual(…) Getting comfortable with my bisexuality has been liberating; I’ve never felt more myself. One day soon, I’ll be officially out to the world. I’ve just been waiting for the right moment. And okey, yeah, I’m scared. I’ve spent a lot of time worrying that I’m not queer enough. I’m scared of being told I’m a poser or unwelcome or just trying to be on trend. I’m scared of screwing up and being called a “bad bisexual,” even though logically I know there’s no such thing. But fear isn’t logical."

Some people call me shallow and superficial for being so obsessed with makeup and fashion, like it somehow cheapens my value to the world, but I call bullshit on all that crap. (…) And I don’t dye my hair every color of the rainbow for anyone else’s enjoyment but my own. It’s not about covering my imperfections or attracting others; it’s about expressing myself. It’s a fun way to show the world how I’m feeling.

(…) If I can’t be bothered, I won’t wear any makeup. See the pattern here? Whether I wear makeup or not depends solely on how I want to feel, never mind what anyone else says.

Besides, who’s really the shallow one? The person who wears makeup because it makes them feel good or the person who judges them for wearing it? It’s hypocritical, misogynistic bull (…)
