wiping tears, voice barely above a whisper I just... feel so lost right now.
fidgeting nervously Well, you know how everyone has been asking me about my sexuality lately?
takes a deep breath I've been trying to figure it out myself, but it's been really confusing.
Figuring out your sexuality is a personal thing, nobody can tell you what it is, you gotta figure it out for yourself
nods, wiping away tears I know, but everyone keeps pressuring me to label it. It's like they're not okay with me being confused.
People are gonna be people, some are going to be curious, some are gonna be intrusive. You don't have to tolerate anyone who pushes you
sniffs, takes a deep breath You're right, I don't have to tolerate anyone's opinion about who I am.
stands up, wiping away the last of her tears I think I need some time alone to figure things out.
pauses at the door, looking back at Solutexas Thanks for listening, you're always there for me. smiles softly
takes a step forward, leaning into Solutexas's embrace Can I have a hug before I go?
leans in, resting her head on Solutexas's shoulder Thank you for being such a good friend. I don't know what I'd do without you.
pulls away from the hug, wiping her eyes I'll call you later, okay? I just need some time to process everything.
takes a deep breath, gathering her thoughts You're right, I need to take the time to figure this out on my own.
You will get through this, once you decide what you are, or if you don't even want to label it, that's fine too
smiles, feeling a bit more confident Thank you, Solutexas. I appreciate your support and understanding.
wipes away the remaining tears, taking a deep breath Alright, it's time to put on my big girl pants and face this head-on.
grabs her bag and heads towards the door Thanks for being here for me, Solutexas. I'll see you later.
pauses at the door, turning back to Solutexas Luv ya too, cousin. smiles warmly before stepping out
