A coded message

Some time in late November or December (so when I'm finally not constantly depressed about Trump), my friend texted this coded message to me, where each letter was represented by a number 1-26. I spent just a few days decoding it. Yes, I'm very proud of my decoding skills 🙃 But then I got an idea, and sent her my own coded message. If decoded, it would say this:

"I am not sure if I am straight. Maybe I am, maybe I am not. I did not want to tell anyone because I do not want to seem like I want attention. I might be straight, I might be bisexual, I might be a lesbian, I might be pansexual. I truly do not know. I do not care what I am. I just want to know what I am."

I sent it because I knew she'd be too lazy to decode it. Yet it felt good to put that out there, even if the true meaning would never be read.
