all my friends started getting crushes when they were in 7th grade. and for whatever reason i just thought crushes were something that happened one day. kinda like how you start your period around average age 12 to 14 or boobs at a certain age, you would start developing crushes at a certain age too.
i tried dating a boy when i was in the 9th grade,his name was scott and we held hands sometimes but, mostly just listened to music in the hall at lunchtime. i would never kiss him and it just didn’t feel right to me
i assumed i was just a late bloomer until i was around 17 years old and started realizing that my closest friends that were girls i usually liked to make laugh and had feelings for them cause i would miss them alot more than i would miss someone i thought of as just a friend…i had my first girlfriend when i was this age, maybe closer to 18
ellen degeneres was my reality, i think i was around 10 or 11 when she came out, maybe 12 and i remember thinking it was really cool that someone could just be themselves..but, never really occured to me that i was that too…i did relate to her entirely though…
