The story

alright, i've never really questioned my sexuality before. i always thought i was straight, you know, like no doubts about it. but after last weekend spent with the boys, something's changed and now i'm all over the place. so we got together for this casual hangout at my buddy's cabin, right? nothing unusual. just beer, bad jokes and dumb dares that get out of hand every single time!! but then bam... during one of those silly games around midnight, i'm lying there thinking: what if? suddenly just looking at them feels kinda different?? it's like a stupid teenage movie we're in or some shit.

it's messed up! i even caught myself staring at mike - why would i ever stare at him like that? he's been my friend for ages and i'm supposed to be straight as an arrow!!! yet here i am twisting my brain into knots because of this? who even knows what's real these days? people say 'you'll just know,' but that's not true when your mind throws random crap at you without asking!!! feeling trapped between wanting to stay clueless and needing answers real bad.

do i need some kind of sign or what?! sitting around with bright eyes hoping lightning strikes doesn't seem very practical honestly... there's no clear guidebook on figuring yourself out without feeling loopy!! every article offers some fancy ideas about self-discovery - screw that! too many bleeding steps like it's a recipe or somethin'. all in all maybe it's just nerves from future worries creepin' up since everything seems wild anyway. freaked out but pretending nothing happened...
