liampayne I honestly feel like I'm on top of the world right now, and it has nothing to do with any of my "material" successes from this past year. Today is a monumental day for me because I can finally say to the world that I'm ready to be the happiest version of myself that I have ever been before. There's a part of me that I've kept extremely private and I feel like it's time to share it. I'm bisexual. I'm shaking as I type this so I hope it all comes out clearly. It feels like a weight has been lifted from me and I no longer have to hide this part of me. I've been told that I couldn't be this way if I wanted certain things in my life and my career. I've been bullied for looking at a boy for too long. Which turned into me not liking myself whenever I thought about wanting to hold a boy's hand or kiss him. I've been keeping this secret for the longest time because I told myself that I had to only like girls to be happy and be accepted by others. All those things I made myself believe have trapped me and made me fear the world that I love from the love I deeply desire. I was so scared to upset the ones I'm closest too because I thought they wouldn't like the true version of myself. Fear will rule me no more.

And before all the speculation comes out, yes, there is someone super special to me that has been by my side through everything. He told me not to include him but how could I not finally tell the world that I'm in love with a man who's done nothing but love and support me and shown me what it's like to live and love fearlessly? He told me that my coming out is about me and he's right but he's also a huge part of me. He's someone who's brought out the best in myself and has always listened to me when I didn't think there was a best version of me. So, my darling boy, my amazing sidekick through all of the madness these past few months, I love you so much and thank you for sticking around for me to find my courage and my self love. Louis Tomlinson, you're my best friend and my favorite person in the entire world. Even when life was the toughest it's ever been for us you never faltered away from me. It's brought us even closer, if that's even possible. When I'm with you I feel like I can do anything. I take every moment with you as an adventure and I can't wait for what's next for us. It's always been you and me against this world but now it's you and me being a part of this world: a world that loves, a world that I couldn't imagine existing in without you in it. My love you amaze me everyday. Here's to The Day. Here's to The Day that I will hold your hand while we walk around cities and towns. Here's to The Day where I am not afraid to show my love for you to the public. I am ready. I am ready for whatever is thrown at us because as long as I have you I have everything I could ever need or want in my special someone to share my life with. @louiswtomlinson I dare the world to try and stop us.
