So when this happened, I didnt even realise it was Valentines day. That is, until I walked through the class room door and Lach (one of my friends) shouted out very loudly

'Happy Singles Day.'

Today was also the day that I can out to Liv as non-binary. For those who forgot, Liv is my best friend. This is how it went down.

On the previous holidays, I planned how to come out to her, but on the day when we met up, and I planned to tell her she happened to bring along her little cousin.  Not only that, but at this time I was pariculary ill. ( I have a chronic illness and somedays it gets really bad.) Still, I didnt want that to deter me. However, that very day I had also been given a new medication so I was left fairly out of it. So least to say my plans of coming out didnt happen. 

So on this particular day, I cant say for sure what made me want to come out it just sort happened. 

Let's set the scene. I'm at school in the year 12 lounge area all by myself. The bell goes, and Liv comes over, because now we both have free study periods together. As we were studying, I got really cold and thought it would be a great idea to open the windows. As we opened all the old white wooden shutters, I quickly grabbed a non-binary sticker out of my bag. As she sat down, I went over to her and showed her the flag. This is how it went, and be prepared for a very cringy scene. 

Me: "Do you know what this flag represents?"

Live: " um yeah its the non-binary flag right?"

Me: "yeah it is, but it also represnets me."

You know what she said next?! "Yeah, I know, you just kinda give off that vibe." Like WHAT! Is that even a thing. She then asked me if I planned on coming out. But I replied that I was unsure because of the area we lived in, it would be very hard. She accepted this, and she hasn't brought it up again. That is, except for this one other time. 

We were  walking down the hallway and about to go through the door. I stopped and said 

"Ladies first." With which she replied, "And here I thought you were all for breaking the gender roles."

Oh, and later that day, she also asked me if I ever thought of a name change, but I personally think its such a big thing, and I have, but and I dont know what Id go by. Ive always loved the names Connor and Florian, But I'm not to sure.
