So I'm sitting here questioning my sexuality because it hit me like a ton of bricks: I feel totally different about this same-gender friend. Yeah, I've been dating the opposite gender since forever, but lately, things have gotten weirdly complicated. There's something about how I feel around them that screams not-just-friends vibes and it's confusing as hell. Could be romatic, might just be platonic. Who knows? 🤷‍♂️ But hey, nobody wrote the rule book on feelings and they've got me in a tailspin.

Here's the thing: growing up, everyone said love is between a boy and a girl. Blah blah... So when I started crushing hard on my buddy, my brain went haywire. It's like fighting in a boxing ring with your own thoughts...am I suddenly into my own gender or what? Maybe it's one of those 'exceptions to the rule' deals? Or am I finally seeing the light that's been here all along but hidden behind a billion assumptions?

I read this one: 'love sought is good, but given unsought, is better.' Thanks that quote for making everything more complicated! Now night and day, everything seems overly dramatic (pun intended). Seriously though... Has anyone else gone through this kind of self-discovery nightmare where you can't tell if your last twenty years are legit or some giant drama series? Give me some insight because my brain's fried.
