"This is my personal story. I'm sharing it because someone out there needs to know they're not alone. Judge the words, not the person."
"For years I thought something was wrong with me. Now I know — I was just becoming."
I Was a Normal Kid
I was a normal kid.
That is where it starts. Not with drama. Not with a crisis. Just a normal kid, living a normal life.
Then the end of fifth grade arrived.
Attracted to Female Things (5th Grade)
At the end of my fifth grade, I was attracted towards female things — their cosmetics, their dress, the way they moved through the world.
I didn't understand it. I just felt it.
I Became Like Transgender (6th – 7th Grade)
In sixth and seventh grade, I became like a transgender person. I was wearing female things, acting like a female, living in that space.
No one around me understood. I didn't fully understand either.
I was just being what I felt.
Then Puberty Hit
Then puberty hit. Everything changed.
I started exploring male things. For the first time, I was attracted to women.
And in that time, I unknowingly fell into masturbation. Then it became an addiction. I am still struggling to face it alone. Still falling sometimes.
But that addiction — it made me explore many different things. I started to understand how straight and trans people vary, how they behave, how they act. I understood from the inside — not from a textbook.
The bonus side effects: 24/7 trembling hands. Anxiety. Male loneliness.
Then the Bisexual Time
Then the bisexual time started in my life. I never expected it. But it happened.
Along with the addiction, I started being attracted to males also. In this time, only three. Not more.
I never planned any of this. None of it was chosen. It just happened — and I had to live inside it, alone, trying to make sense of it.
The Identity Crisis
Then came the confusion in identity.
I had dark taboo thoughts I cannot say out loud. Shame about myself. Questions about my sexuality. An existential crisis:
What is life? Why do I have to live? What is wrong with me?
I carried all of this alone.
What I Realised
But it is all what made me who I am.
First I felt I was wrong. That something in me was the problem.
Now I realise — I was becoming.
Nothing is wrong in me. These experiences are not the definition of myself. They are the journey of myself. I have to travel more to become more of what I want in my life.
What This Created in Me
The things I faced in my life created me as a self-taught psychologist.
Yeah, I am a beginner. But I will go beyond.
It created in me the ability to feel for all — to think for all — without any judgment. I can feel all pain. I can sit with all people.
I see it every day — people are comfortable around me. They share what they don't share elsewhere.
I can feel straight, bisexual, transgender, male, female — I have lived in many of these spaces. So I can hold all of them without flinching.
What I Want You to Remember
If you are somewhere in your own confusion right now —
Nothing is wrong in you.
It is all a journey.
It is all creating in you who you are.
Nothing is wrong in you. It is all creating who you are.
