People who choose, to not be one way
People who choose, to actually have a say
Not one way or the other
Completely ambiguous in fact
Not afraid to keep other’s curious ignorance intact
Fluidly flowing, wondrously glowing – exuding true energy from within
Not confining sexuality into a small cubicle bin
A lack of rigidness, because who you can be is surprisingly limitless
However to be authentic is to deal with difficulties
But it is worth it not to appease

Selena is a student at Florida Atlantic University studying Psychology, Sociology, Gender and Sexuality Studies. Selena identifies with fluidity and has realized energies cannot be confined into distinct categories, preferring not to identify self and others through body parts correlating to constructs of sex or gender.
