Feeling Lost Between Labels – Is It Okay to Just Be Me?

I've been thinking a lot about my sexuality lately, and honestly, it's been kind of confusing. I’ve tried to pin down a label that fits me—like bisexual, pansexual, queer—but none of them quite feel right. Sometimes I’m attracted to people regardless of gender, but other times, the connection feels more specific or complicated. It’s like my feelings don’t fit neatly into one box, and that’s been both frustrating and a little isolating.

At the same time, I worry that not having a clear label might make it harder for others to understand me or for me to understand myself. But then I wonder, do I really need a label? Can I just be open to whatever feels right in the moment without trying to define it all the time? It’s freeing but also a bit scary to let go of those categories.

Has anyone else felt this way—caught between wanting to identify and not wanting to be boxed in? How do you navigate that balance? Would love to hear your stories or any advice on embracing the uncertainty without feeling lost.
