I DON’T BLIEVE IN SEXUALITY “PHASES” ⬇️

⠀⠀

I hear this a lot in the heterosexual “norm” community & the LGBTQ+ community that “oh it was just a phase, they weren’t actually gay”. I’ve definitely said this myself in the past as well, which is why I really sat down with myself and thought about it. What I’ve realized is that IT’S COMPLETELY NOT ACCEPTABLE TO SAY.

There’s a way bigger picture to this. What we’re really doing when we’re exploring our sexuality is trying to deepen and understand our IDENTITY. Who we are as a person. What we like, what we don’t like. What our TRUTH is for that moment so we can accept it & then go deeper into who we ARE. That shits powerful. ✨

Here’s what I know⬇️

🖤 When you explore your sexuality that automatically tells me that you’re a really open minded and courageous person. Giving yourself that freedom may be the first step in giving yourself freedom in other areas of your life. That’s what that first step looks like for YOU. ⠀⠀

🖤 When you can be honest with yourself and be okay with exploring something that’s totally different and a little scary, you are CHOOSING COURAGE. You are being so honest with yourself of what feels good RIGHT NOW. Let me tell you, you’re 100000 steps ahead of many others.

🖤 Our truth is constantly CHANGING. What may be true for you right now doesn’t mean it always will be but it also DOESN’T make it invalid. It doesn’t make it a phase, it makes it a chapter. A growth period. A beautiful and perfect part of you that you ALLOWED to happen. ⠀⠀

🖤 This also brings me to the point of labels. Labels are not permanent either. Just because I really resonate and identify as a Lesbian right now doesn’t mean I always will OR maybe it will. Don’t put pressure on a label because you think it’s going to make you understand your identity more. Instead choose to explore other things that light your soul on fire. What you stand for. Care for. Hobbies. THAT’S your identity and WAY more important. ⠀⠀

I BELIEVE THAT EVERYBODY HAS A COMING OUT ⬇️⠀

The first time I came out was for being gay. ⠀

The second time I came out was when I realized that I wanted to call myself Intuitive and psychic. In all honesty the second one scared me the most. ⠀

I was sooooo scared of being judged for being spiritual or “witchy”. I grew up in a family that didn’t believe in spirituality. ⠀

I was scared that people would think I was crazy or I wasn’t going to be taken seriously but I NEEDED people to know. ⠀

I wanted to create a business that allowed people to access their intuition too, so they could transform their lives. I needed people to SEE and KNOW me, the REAL me. I knew how freeing it would feel to be my most authentic self. ⠀

It got to the point where I felt like I wasn’t me, that I couldn’t express myself. I couldn’t tell people what I did for a living because I was scared of their judgement. ⠀

GUESS WHAT -> KNOW YOUR TRUTH AND OWN THAT SHIT (NOT EVERYONE WILL AGREE WITH YOU) 💃🏼✨ ⠀

✨ You will transform your life.⠀

✨You will find your tribe and your community.⠀ ⠀

✨ You will be so much more powerful. ⠀

✨ You will build your dream life.⠀

When I say everybody has a coming out, it’s because I know everyone has to speak their truth at some point. Even if it’s not about your sexuality. You have to voice and own something that’s so terrifying for you to accept because you’re scared of judgement/ acceptance. Even if that’s something like ⬇️ ⠀

✨ Going on a different career path than what you thought or what your parents want.⠀

✨ Being honest with yourself about needing to leave a relationship or marriage because it’s not serving you anymore. ⠀

✨Reaching out for help because you have mental illness. ⠀

We are not put on this planet to be alone. We are put on this planet to find teachers, guides, friends and our tribe to help us through the most difficult times. ⠀
