“They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you threw a big tantrum because you couldn't step back from your emotions" =D
Edited articles of an emotional teenager.
Pomosexuality.

"Postmodern (pomo)sexuality refers to a nonorientation in which people disregard sexual labels altogether. While it is convenient to sort everyone into a handful of different groups - homosexual, bisexual, heterosexual - pomosexuality argues that these words and categories cannot do justice to the complexity of human sexuality. Like many other things in life, sexual orientation and/or gender identity isn't a black and white, either/or experience for many of us. Rather, it is a fluid and incalculably unique journey that is beyond definition. Pomosexuality literally means anything you want it to mean. It means anything goes. And it represents an end to all the confusion, oppression, fear, and restraint that comes with trying to identify with a restrictive label."



Amen.

As a teenager, if I was to rebel against anything in this world it would be the confines put on us by society and the labels it gives to all people. People are too complex to be defined, please stop trying.

You can argue that it's hypocrisy, that you're a giving a label to people who refuse to be labeled, but if there is anything that comes close to how I feel (and maybe that's just me being a naive teenager who is still trying to establish just who she is) it's pomosexuality.


Labels are how we sort things. Homosexuality is a helpful label in which we can sort a group of people. And that is why the very idea of pomosexuality is labeled pomosexuality. So there is a distinct group that believes in pomosexuality. And if it were to ever take over, everyone would be LABELED as believing in such. A label is a label. And you can wish there weren't any all you want, but labels exist so that we may identify things, and people. Your very name is a label. Will you deny it because it is such?
