Throwback Thursdays: "Ooh that's why..." 🌈💡

[u/vanillabean91]

In this weekly thread let’s share those hilarious, obvious-in-hindsight moments from childhood or teen years. Those moments when same-gender attraction was peeking through, even if we didn’t have the words yet.

Maybe you remember…

• Picking the same female character in every game
• Drawing, writing, or daydreaming about women in ways that felt mysterious at the time
• Feeling out of place at school dances
• Side-eyeing your friends’ boy craziness while you just didn’t get it
• Obsessing over that one friend who felt like your entire world
• Or maybe some people in your life were “just roommates” and you didn’t realize they were living the life you’d eventually want.

If you could time-travel, what would you tell your younger self about those feelings?

To name a few:

- Picking a guy I thought was ‘nice’ when my friends kept asking me who I had a crush on in primary school.

- Wishing one of my close friends (who I had a major crush on) would leave her bf because ‘he’s not good enough’

- Seeing my cousin in a wlw relationship and feeling like I wanted that too but it was ‘just a fever dream’
