A Few Neatly Encapsulated Thoughts

I've been meaning to create this post for a fair while now. It's been a few weeks since I started regularly going on Reddit, and once I did I almost immediately stumbled across this page. Ever since finding this near little place I have had and endless stream of questions flow through my mind. For better or worse I've always known who I am. I've always known that I was interested in boys, girls, and everything in between (though only recently did I discover the terminology for such), and while holding this knowledge hasn't always been easy, it has always been present.

This is the first time in my life that I don't really know who I am, and it's quite frightening for me. I've thought through writing this very many times, and this is where I always draw a blank. The only surefire way I've found to put myself out there is through creative writing, so I took tried that out. I am really not trying to appear as pretentious, this is simply the best way I know of to say the things I'm trying to say.

I guess my overall question boils down to, is it "normal" to simply not know? Normal is probably not the best term... but I think I've run out of word juice after that particular poem. As the title of it may imply... it's roughly 4:30 AM right now. I don't feel as if I belong to any one gender, nor do I feel as if third, nor do I really feel that much like a mix. I'm just not all that certain. Blargh... mind cannot operate sleep well without.

P.S. I don't wish to appear as though I'm pimping out my particular tumblr page. This is the first post I have on it, and it will very likely remain as such. Tumblr is simply a rather useful hub to place this particular bundle of words on.
