User blog:Wemrotung/Remember this whenever you worry about your labels:

Your label does not have to be "perfect." You don't have to precisely and neatly fit into any label, whether you use it or not. Treat labels as flexible tools that you can use if you feel they benefit you.

I see a lot of people, especially in MOGAI communities, worry about labeling each aspect of their identity. Microlabels and label-collecting is a completely valid way to label yourself, and I don't want this to be misconstrued. With that said, worrying about labeling each hyper-specific part of yourself can sometimes become stressful, and I think it's good to have a reminder that there's nothing to stress about.

Take your time and allow yourself the freedom to experiment. Let labels come and go whenever you need them to. Navigate your identity in a non-judgmental way. Know that even if you end up feeling and identifying differently in the future, your feelings and identities are valid in this moment. Think about who you are right now rather than setting a strict expectation of who you will be later.

Sometimes it helps to try to be more feeling-focused than label-focused. Don't focus too much on having all the right labels; center your focus on how you feel. Don't restrict yourself too much. It can alleviate a lot of pressure to just let the river flow rather than immediately building a dam.

Of course, labels can provide security for many, and I believe that's what labels are for. Labels are not an obligation or a rule; they're a reaffirmation of what you already feel. They're there to validate who you are.

Don't worry about whether or not you have the right label, because in the end, you don't exist to serve a label; labels exist to serve you. Take them and leave them as you please.
