🏳️‍🌈Be Proud (Patreon)

This is a redraw of my pride piece from last year! It’s crazy to think that the original one is just a year old, I’ve improved so much since then. I can’t help but cringe a little at my early Procreate stuff.

pride month is always a weird one for me personally. I’m bisexual, but accepting that is something I’ve struggled with for years at this point. As of recent, I’ve become more accepting of myself, but sometimes I do find myself beating myself up still.

i feel like I always have to prove myself and my sexuality, even though that isn’t true. And now, being in a long term relationship with a man who I’m due to marry, I feel as if I’m not allowed to celebrate my sexuality. I’m engaged to a man, so why celebrate that I’m bisexual? Also, recently accepting that I also fall under the demisexual label has been difficult for me.

but this is who I am, and everyday I’m learning to be kinder to myself and accepting of who I am. I’m bisexual, and being engaged to a man doesn’t invalidate that. I’m bisexual, and I’m proud.
