My environment is actually super liberal, my mum is queer and married to a woman now, so I honestly have no idea why I never stopped to think about it until these two clowns invaded my life (and heart!) Maybe I just missed some of the vocabulary and community to learn more about it.
That is the exact sentence that's been on repeat in my head. That, and "there's no timeline for figuring yourself out" give me the courage to even ask these questions out loud. I'm glad to hear it's not only fictional characters that are in this predicament with me! ❤️
This actually helps a lot, because my husband is absolutely the love of my life, there's no doubt there. And it's easy to be straight-presenting, but it also kind of suppresses the necessity to figure things out, if that makes sense? Which is why I'm so unsure now, probably.
Believe me, I am struggling to find the words myself! Thanks for taking the time though!
You're so kind, Mel, and logically I know all these things you're saying already. But realistically, I'm just struggling with the fact that I'm not sure what I am feeling, having only been in straight relationships before. Somebody provide me with a checklist or a Buzzfeed quiz or something!
About needing a silly book/movie to kickstart the thought process? Like, how do I know if I'm not just over-attaching myself to a piece of media I like? I've always considered myself a good ally, maybe I just want to belong to the community? Am I just projecting something?
I guess I just finally took the time, after all these years, to think about why this movie/book/fandom resonates so much with me, more than the gazillion other romcoms I watched (and loved) growing up. And I feel so stupid, not only about taking so long to start figuring it out, but also...
Oh, physically I'm fine, don't worry. I just feel stupid about something and am looking for validation, I guess. But then again, I already know y'all are gonna be super understanding and supportive, which makes me feel even more stupid. 🙈 Like, whyyyy can't I just deal with it on my own??
Ah yes, Wine & Words™, cheers!
Chat, is this a safe space for an almost forty-year-old to say scary things for the first time?
I get the votes for button down because arms, but the campfire jacket is just so huggable!
Yeah sure, I'll go along with the trunks!
Oh come on, you can't compare these two! That's apples and oranges, Mandy!
Definitely sleeveless!
Always the soft look above anything else.
Noooo, WHAT.
I'm voting for the open jacket over the white tee.
🥲
God, this is gonna get more and more heartbreaking, isn't it? Henley, I suppose?
Soft grey sweater, plz!
Well, aren't you both 😍🤩🥰☺️😻🌟🎆‼️
All lovely, obviously, but the key is so cleverly done, Simon! ❤️
Putting whimsy aside for a sec and voting for the black tee. 'Cause pecs and arms. 🤷🏼♀️
I see the slutty item of choice this year is a neckerchief, sunglasses coming in a close second. Never change, TZP.
Definitely a diversion tactic by mom, but you know, whatever works!
God, I am so indifferent about suits, I'll take a casual look over this any day. That being said, I guess the one seeing the king?
I am nothing if not a millennial pop girlie.
Without saying how old you are, what's something that shows your age.
This was the focal point of my teenage room, making full use of the three disk capacity feature!
That low key irks me every time
Oh Lena...
