Love

An emotion that I know everything about while knowing nothing at all. All the love that I have ever given has been completely and irrevocably unreciprocated. I've loved both men, women, and everyone in and out of that spectrum.

Is that wrong? Of course not.

Will people judge me for it? Of course.

Will it cause me pain? Always.

I learned that the hard way. When at just eleven years old I cried myself to sleep because no matter how much I loved that girl she would only ever fall in love with a boy.

That was normal right? Falling in love with your dream guy. I tried that. I tried so hard, but for four long years I only had eyes for her.

I wondered why I couldn't be like her.

Why couldn't I only dream of finding a knight in shining armor. But I've come to realize that my love is unlimited. Unbound by society's standards.

Who know's maybe I'll fall in love with a prince or a princess. I may even find someone who doesn't identify as either.

And I've finally realized that it's okay. I didn't choose this path, but i'm willing to follow it to the end.
