Discovering You: Exploring Your Sexual Identity in Teenhood

Share with others

Hey there, beautiful souls of The Girls Circle! Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s as colourful and exciting as a rainbow but can also be extremely confusing for those on a journey with it.. and that topic is: Sexuality! 🌈

First things first, let’s clear something up: it’s absolutely okay to be confused about your sexuality. Seriously, navigating through this journey can feel like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded! But guess what? That’s totally normal! You’re not alone in feeling a little lost or unsure about where you fit on the spectrum of sexuality. What you like, what you don’t like.. you’re discovering who you are. Or, maybe you are really clear in your heart about your sexuality but are ‘confused’ as to how you let others know that.

So, here’s the scoop: exploring your sexuality is like embarking on a thrilling adventure. It’s about discovering what feels right for you, whether that’s being attracted to boys, girls, both, or neither! And let’s not forget about all the wonderful shades of gray in between. Your sexuality is as unique as you are, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. There really isn’t babe! 

On that note, let’s talk about coming out. It can be nerve-wracking, scary, and downright intimidating. Trust us, many of the Queens at The Girls Circle have been there and I’ve supported them right through it. Whether you’re bursting with excitement to share your truth, fearful at what family and friends may say when you share your truth or feeling like you’re living a double life, it’s okay to take things at your own pace. Your journey is yours to navigate, and there’s no rush to come out until you’re ready and there are places out there like charities that help young people and charities that focus on the LGBTQ+ community to support. 

But here’s the tea: it’s also okay if you feel like you can’t come out to your family or friends just yet. Sometimes, cultural, parental or religious expectations can add an extra layer of pressure that makes it hard to be true to yourself. And that’s tough, no doubt about it. But remember, your happiness and authenticity are worth fighting for, even if it takes time to get there. YOU are worth it and YOU deserve to be happy in your own skin.

Here’s the golden rule: embrace who you are, unapologetically and fiercely. Your sexuality is a beautiful part of what makes you, YOU! And guess what? There’s a whole community of fierce, fabulous individuals out there who have your back, no matter who you love or how you identify.

Here is to all the dreamers, explorers, and Queens out there: keep shining your light, keep dancing to your own beat, and never forget that you are loved, accepted, and celebrated just the way you are. Together, let’s paint the world with the colours of love, acceptance, and authenticity!

Stay fabulous, lovelies!

XOXO,

The Girls Circle 💖
