nonbinary!

they/them but he/him is ok too

I don't really know, honestly. I don't think they would have a problem with it, but I don't think they would take me seriously at all. I'm pretty sure they know that (or at least my sister does) i'm queer but are choosing to just ignore it and write me off as a special snowflake, or as my sister called me: "weird tumblr boy"

Stop being afraid to express yourself in ways that make you feel more comfortable.
The people around you do care about you, and a majority of the people in your life will accept your identity  without question.

i'm asexual but I usually just go by queer if we're combining like, romantic attraction w/ sexual attraction
queer is a lot easier to swallow for ppl and i get less questions 

its boring but grey is my favorite color followed up by black, followed up by a tie between dark red and ghost teal

BOTH GAY... i love the sunlight and being outside and i literally lay on the floor in the sun like im photosynthesizing with my cat but also the night time with the moon and the stars is when i feel the most alive 

i didn't really come to terms with my gender until 2017 when I was meeting up with a friend from high school (who has now gone on to be my best friend) but we went on a wendy's lunch date and before i went i was like.. i took a little leap and asked if she could try using he/him and they/them pronouns for me, as well as the name jay, and she followed through without question and was really excited for me.
I had been going by Jay for awhile at that point, since that's what I went by at work. I felt comfortable enough to express myself there, as my boss and the person who interviewed me was very openly queer.
I think having different pronouns be used for me for the first time not online was a huge step in the right direction, and that's kind of where my struggle with gender really started. For awhile I thought I was just a trans guy, but I've now figured myself out enough to identify as nonbinary.

As for being ace, I think I kind of always knew but didn't have the words for it. Everything was a little weird when all my friends and the ppl around me started to express interest in sex, and being sexually attracted to people, and for the longest time I thought that *I* was the normal one for not feeling that way at all. (lmfao)
I never really looked into it due to the fear of being considered abnormal or undesirable but my senior year of high school I figured it out, and I've never questioned it otherwise. 

I just recently woke up, I'm honestly a little sad, but I think it's going to be a good day. 

yeah!! almost everyone that I surround myself with are part of the LGBT+ community!! 
my two best friends are both somewhere on the queer spectrum, and so are a lot of my coworkers.

I have a Lot of hobbies, but I think drawing is probably my favorite?? I also enjoy film photography, and exploring abandoned places.

uhh.. i can't speak for everyone but
my personal icon is Antoni from queer eye!!
he's a huge inspiration to me and just seeing him do his thing has helped me realize that i have a strong passion for cooking, and one day i would like to pursue a culinary degree, and that there is nothing wrong with that.

im biased and i like mine, but i also think that the trans and lesbian flags are really pretty

for the most part yeah, but i don't talk about it unless im asked. makes me anxious 

i think im moderately comfortable with myself, i definitely have my good and bad moments but
i think going to my first pride this year really helped me own who i am 
the really negative side of me says otherwise due to heavy dysphoria related depersonalization but thats another story LOL

N/A

N/A

uhhh occasionally. i have really bad chronic pain issues and usually reserve my binder only for if i'm having a really bad dysphoria day or if i have a shirt that i absolutely must wear that i have to wear a binder for 

i forget a lot, but i do shave my armpits and occasionally my legs cus i like the way they feel all smooth
i did go from nov 2016-sept 2018 without shaving my legs though because i thought i was making a social statement but i now realize that it does not matter what i do with my body cus i can do whatever i want 

rn my current crush but it Won't Happen
preferably someone who is just.. like.. cool with who i am and won't try to pressure me into doing things that i don't want to do
someone who isn't gonna suddenly stop loving me after two years
there is someone who is really good for me, but i cannot take another long distance relationship. i think it is something that could work out if we lived closer, he's very sweet

i got dumped in november after a 2+ year long relationship 
i don't have an official partner but i've been talking 2 ppl

my crush has a really cool last name, plays the bass guitar, and has long pretty hair
he's very good to me when we're together but our friendship is pretty much nonexistent outside of work
at work we're pretty affectionate towards each other i'd say but i don't think he's actually interested in me since there's no effort made on his side to talk outside of work (lol) i've tried but it's hopeless
he gives really nice hugs and likes to pick me up and twirl me around and he looks really fucking cute in my chef coat and has super good taste in music, which isn't so close to mine, so he can actually show me new bands and songs i've never heard before
i appreciate him a lot but i don't think he feels the same way
some day i'll pine after someone who actually wants something to do with me 

i have not 

yeah, straight guys i guess

i'm definitely more on the goth gay side but the 'hardcore/metal kid' sub genre of it

i'm servsafe certified!! i love to cook! im literally a chef!! 

i went to my first pride and got my flags that i put up on my wall!! i also got a few pins that i put on my favorite backpack 
its a little sad but im pretty new to actually.. expressing my pride and myself, but im very excited about it! 

28. have you ever been to a pride parade?
i've never been to the parade, no, but i would like to some day! i always have to work or i'm out of town.

29. any advice to someone who isn’t out or who is exploring themselves?

don't let other people define to you what they think you are. you are the only person who really knows you, so if someone tries to tell you that you are something that you're not, don't listen. 
surround yourself with like-minded people who will be a positive influence on your personal growth.
