### 2. On Labels and Questioning
-A label is not a template for behavior. It's a tool used to communicate you particular brand of awesome to others.* You are you, pick a label that fits. (or don't, whatever)
*A label is not a template for behavior. It's a tool used to communicate your particular brand of awesome to others.* You are you, pick a label that fits. (or don't, whatever)
This isn't to say that labels are unimportant, though. At the very least labels provide a useful shorthand for things that are complicated or abstract (see: bisexuality vs pansexuality), so there's definitely an argument for their practicality. The point is that *your you-ness* should inform your label choice, and not the other way around.
This is why I think identifying as questioning is so cool. You can't get any more honest than openly admitting that you don't know shit and are still figuring it out :D
Alright, out of my soliloquy, and back to your thing :P
### Communicating Your Truth
Is it a possibility to come out although I am not sure of my labels yet?
As each person on earth is wholely unique, I would argue that there's currently around 7 billion different possible sexualities out there. Who you are, who you like, and the reasoning/motivation for any of these things are fully unique to you alone, which means that you happen to be *literally the only human on the face of the planet* with enough information to determine what label fits you best.
This goes both ways, too. You are the only one who can determine which labels *do* fit, but the same goes for labels that *don't* fit. If heterosexuality no longer fits you, that conclusion is equally entirely valid.
On that same coin, choosing to use no labels is just as valid, and so is picking a label but choosing to keep it private.
should I wait until I stopped questioning?
