Coming Out

Some people who know me will be rubbing their hands with glee at that title. They will be congratulating themselves claiming they always knew the truth they were just waiting for me to admit to it.

Well you’re all still wrong.

Yes I may spend the majority of my life in jeans, jumper and t-shirts. I prefer trainers to high heels. I very rarely wear make up. But all this alone does not make me gay. I dress the way I do because it is practical and comfortable, and for reasons I will go into in just a short time, I feel no need to impress anyone else but me.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that in order to be a lesbian I need to be sexually attracted to women. Now although I see no problem with other women who do have that preference (as long as you are happy what does it matter I say) I do not personally share that attraction.

So why you are asking have I never spoken about a boyfriend? Why then have I never been seen on the arm of some bloke? The question is simply that I am not sexually attracted to men either. In fact I'm not sexually attracted to anything. I am what is know as an asexual.

Now before you ask. Yes I am perfectly happy, which as I said before is all that really matters at the end of the day. I do not feel like I am missing out on anything. I am completely happy with my own company and quiet content with my little lot in life. My only reason for making my sexuality, or rather lake of it, public is so that I can finally stop having to justify my lack of partners and you guys can finally stop waiting for me to meet mister right.

On a different note. The tranquillity garden is complete. The medicinal herbs arrived and are all planted. I now have an additional stone hedgehog and stagnant water feature. It is surprisingly relaxing out there. I love it.
