As I navigated the complexities of my own sexuality, I began to realize that traditional notions of sexual orientation no longer applied to me. I was drawn to both men and women, and the idea of being labeled as 'straight' or 'gay' felt suffocating. It wasn't until I stumbled upon the term 'bisexual' that I finally found a language to describe my feelings and desires.
As I began to explore my bisexuality, I found myself drawn to older women who shared similar experiences and wisdom. The power dynamics at play in these relationships fascinated me - the age gap, the life experience, the emotional maturity. It was as if we were speaking different languages, yet somehow understanding each other on a deeper level.
As I delved deeper into my own desires and attractions, I realized that societal norms and expectations were constantly trying to silence me. The pressure to conform to traditional gender roles, the stigma surrounding non-monogamy, and the fear of being judged by others - it was overwhelming. But I refused to let external forces dictate my path.
