i am so glad the breakup happened because if it didnt i think it wouldve genuinely tore me from the inside out

the whole time that i was into guys i felt like i was pushing myself into a fake identity and liking men was a horrible mask that i put up with

the breakup really made me realize that i stuck with this identity that made me uncomfortable in my own body but i didnt change to a more fitting orientation because i wanted to keep my current partner at that time

i know its such a small change within labels but i genuinely feel so freed and happy identifying as a butch
