I was suppressing my feelings and attraction to boys for almost my entire life. The environment I was growing up in and my upbringing made me act bigoted in many ways, something that I regret to this very day non-stop.
I feel like the self-realization ball started to roll when I joined the goth subculture. I remember having very gay thoughts that I consciously acknowledged at my first goth events around 2019. Since the goth subculture is also extremely queer, I got the chance to openly chat with many queer folk (and had the pleasure of [obliviously at the time] flirting online with a trans bisexual boy 😳 :heart_trans:). I also met my lovely partner through a goth online community, who is bisexual herself and helped me understand and accept my feelings. 🥰
Though the moment when I broke through the ice in my mind and really accepted who I am was something old school - it was watching Rocky Horror for the first time. 💗
Don't dream it - be it. :heart_bi:
