Is Your Sexuality Real or Imposed?

How Much of Your Sexuality Is Truly Yours…

We spend more time hiding who we are than living.

The irony of our existence is reflected in this constant dance between being and appearing. I observe this social comedy daily where we pretend not to see the elephant in the room: sexuality.

This fundamental and natural aspect of human experience that we’ve transformed into a whispered taboo behind closed doors.

We live in a society that normalizes watching people being murdered on television but is scandalized by two beings who love each other.

Our screens fill with gratuitous violence and no one blinks, but a kiss between two people of the same gender causes a tsunami of opinions, comments, and judgments.

This dichotomy reveals how distorted our moral priorities are.

Labels have become our collective obsession. We’ve created categories, subcategories, and sub-subcategories to classify every nuance of human desire. As if we could box feelings into organized drawers.

This compulsive need to catalog love reveals more about our fears and insecurities than about the true nature of human attraction.

How many people around you live half a life?
