Day 3/30

Day 3 - How old were you when you knew? What was that like for you?

Anyone know of the band Yelle?

Maybe it's her name, I'm not very cultured.

That is completely irrelevant.

I was…  14-15 when I knew.  I had just started my freshmen year and got to be really good friends with a girl a year or so older than me.  At first it was just “friends cuddling on the bus.”  That was cool I guess.  But it meant something more for me.  Wasn’t just a friend thing.  I loved the way she smelled, more than anything, I think.  she scratched me once and I lost my mind.

How did I feel?  I hated myself.  My circle of friends was comprised of freestyle Christians (heretofore known as Xians), including myself.  It was wrong.  I was bad.  I didn’t understand why God was doing it to me.

As it were, I’m agnostic now (if you missed that bit last post), and I’m pretty damned happy with my sexuality.  I love women.

That was simple enough, I imagine.
