Okay, so, today I’m gonna talk about how I figured out I was, you know, into girls. It’s been a wild ride, and I’m here to spill all the tea. No special terms, just my story, straight up.
Figuring Stuff Out
First off, I started noticing I was different. Like, all my friends were crushing on guys, and I just wasn’t feeling it. I mean, they were okay, but not like, heart-eyes emoji okay. Then, I started paying more attention to girls. Not in a creepy way, but like, I admired them. Their style, their vibe, everything. It wasn’t until I had this massive crush on my best friend that things started to click.
My “Aha!” Moment
This friend, let’s call her Sarah, was everything I thought was cool. We did everything together – swimming, reading, talking for hours, going on walks. Then, one day, we were just hanging out, and she said something that made my heart do a weird flip. That’s when it hit me: I was totally into her.
Diving Deeper
After that, I started exploring more. I read stuff online, watched some movies with lesbian characters, and it all felt so… right. I learned it’s all about figuring out what makes you happy, what feels authentic to you. I started joining a few local LGBT+ groups, which was super helpful. It was awesome to meet other people who were going through the same thing. We’d travel together, cook, go to museums, and film festivals, you know, just living our best lives.
Embracing It All
It wasn’t always easy. I mean, there were moments of doubt, for sure. But the more I leaned into who I was, the more comfortable I felt. I started going to Pride events, which were amazing. It was like this huge party where everyone was just being themselves. It was at one of these events, surrounded by so many amazing people, that I realized I was exactly where I was supposed to be. I start to go to WDW, attend plays, concerts, ballets, fish, boat, and kayak. You know, just try new things as a lesbian.
Just Be You
So, yeah, that’s my story. It’s not some textbook thing. It’s messy and real and totally me. The biggest thing I’ve learned is that there’s no right way to be a lesbian. It’s all about finding your own path and being true to yourself. I also learned that according to the Pew Research Center, we LGBT+ people deserve to live authentic lives. It is a long way to go, but we deserve to try.
If you’re going through something similar, just know that you’re not alone. It’s okay to be confused. It’s okay to take your time. And it’s definitely okay to be yourself, whoever that is. Just keep exploring, keep learning, and most importantly, keep being you.
