I've been looking into labels for my identities, specifically my romantic ones. I've found a few labels that I think work for me: gyneromantic and cupioromantic.

Incase you don't know, gyneromanticism is attraction to femininity, but not specifically women (women, feminine men, feminine enby people, etc.) (also sapphic would not work for me as I am a cis man)

Cupioromanticism is someone who identifies on the aromantic spectrum, but still desires a romantic relationship.

I'm a bit afraid that when I eventually decide to come out to people, I'm gonna have to explain my romantic orientation to everyone because of the fact that these are much lesser-known microlabels.

If anyone has gone through a similar experience or has any possible advice to share, I would greatly appreciate it!

(I'm a bit new to the lgbtqia+ community if you couldn't tell already)

What is your favorite musical that isn't very well known? I'll go first: How to Dance in Ohio.

I'm currently in a show (How to Dance in Ohio) that I'll be doing until October, and I'm gonna do another show (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) from September this year to June 2027, both as lead roles. I was considering auditioning for a third show. A regional theater near me is doing both Annie and Mean Girls Jr., and I was thinking about doing one of those. But I was thinking, would I be overworking myself? I am a minor (I don't feel the need to specify my age further), and I don't know how much that would get in the way of school and my social life. I think I could handle it, but then again, I've never actually done that many shows at once. Do other kids my age do multiple shows at the same time? Is two already enough?

TLDR: I'm already in two shows. Should I audition for a third?

I'm on day 5 of having braces. When i bite on food with my front teeth, even foods more on the soft side (pasta, for example), with hurts. This happened with the back teeth too, but it went away around day three. Is this normal? How long will this last for?
