Well then make your own label, be and do whatever makes you happy. You are you, not a label. Be yourself and be happy.
You can either make your own label or disregard the whole notion of it. Just be yourself, the rest will fall into place.
This is okay. The most important thing I can even think to say is that labels aren't as important as society has tried to make us believe. You are not alone. You belong.
Its totally okay! :D Labels aren't necessary, and for many people they feel like they are a hindrance to their true expression of self. If it is important to you, you can always take your time looking up and mixing and matching labels to hopefully find one that you feel best describes who you are. Also its important to realize that peoples labels and identities change over time and we as humans are rarely covered by just ONE label for our entire life (if ever!) :D Hope this helps. Feel free to connect with myself or another listener if you would like to further discuss this question.
If there is no label to define you then you are unique, special, you are you! You have a label, your label is YOU! Some people might have cool, popular, and pretty as there labels but your label is the best label ever... you should just be you not anything else.

Labels exist simply to help people define themselves and explore who they are. It's absolutely alright not to identify with any of them, or to switch from one label to another. No matter what, you're always primarily yourself.
