my thoughts after reading through a lot of posts here
It is perfectly okay and fine to sit with uncertainty. To accept - okay theres something - but theres a not knowing of what that something is.
Like I would say I am somewhere between lesbian and bi and aromantic and asexual and dont really care to really have a final conclusion about it.
My housemate was commented folks used to sit with wonder more. If you wanted to know something you had to either go on a quest to a library and sort through tactile cards with numbering sysyems and then find the book then read through the text to find out what you want to know. You could also if you knew someone who knew a lot trust what they know - but this had the effect of people going years with believing something wrong. Sometimes you just wouldnt know.
Sometimes with these things you need to experience life and the passing of time and really just sit with that uncertainty. Its okay to just enjoy the journey. Its okay to not know until you know or reach some kind of conclusion about it.
For my personal uncertainty I am just letting life flow by and waiting on whatever experiences lead me wherever. I dont need a label for my sexuality and thats okay for me. It might not be for you to not have a label for yourself - and thats where this forum is helpful for folks out here to help you parse through the thoughts and labels and reflect on your anecdotes and what they might mean.
Its okay to be uncertain and enjoy the journey.
