"Living is easy with eyes closed"

BEEP-BEEP! WARNING! DEEP-NESS ABOUT TO OCCUR!
I know I've complained about people being too deep on their blogs, but now I must break my own rule to rant a bit.
Gender Identity. Funny phrase, I know. For some people, it's simple-I'm a girl-I like boys~I'm a boy-I like girls. But for others, it's a constant, everyday struggle. Some people know who they are and what they stand for. Others spend years trying to figure this out. Some girls know they are girls, and know they like girls. Some boys feel like they are girls-and know they like boys-and wish people would see them as girls. But for some, life is even more complicated. Some girls feel like boys-and wish people would see them as such-but they also know that they like boys. There are so many labels for people. Transexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual... So many people identify as one, or more of these. But some people don't know, and are confused about who they are, who they like, what they want, and how to say it. I am one of those people. Sometimes, I'll think I know-and the next minute, I'll go right back to being confused. Some of my friends think I'm gay, some are sure I'm straight, some think I'm bi, and my Mom-well I don't know what she thinks. I'm afraid to tell people I'm gay, because the next day I might not be sure if I am. Things like this can really mess with a person's head, and I'm determined not to let that happen to me. I just wish I could make people understand. I wish I understood. I just hope people can accept me for who I think I am.
