Do you remember when you first realized who you are?

The shock?

The pain?

The denial?

Did you hate it?

Did you love it?

Did you keep it hidden?

Did you tell the world?

Do you remember when you told someone for the first time?

And the nerves bubbled in your stomach

Till it erupted from your throat

and you spilled your secrets

What did they think?

What did they say?

How did you feel?

Do you remember your first crush?

The way your heart fluttered.

Because you had liked people before

But not like this

Or maybe it went differently

How did it go?

How did it feel?

Do you remember when you became comfortable with yourself?

When you were not scared to talk about your identity

Or the issues surrounding it

How is it now?

How did it feel?

Do you remember?
