I feel like I used to get really melancholic any time I read any kind of sweet or fluffy romance featuring lesbians when I was young. For years I struggled to consume any kind of media that I could find my identity as a lesbian reflected in because it only seemed to make me feel worse, because it felt like it wasn’t for me. That I didn’t have the social skills or wasn’t attractive enough or good enough to have what was portrayed in those kinds of saccharine stories. It kind of ended with me binging nothing but horror movies for a few years because it seemed to be the only thing that was emotionally safe lol. But eventually I did find myself in a relationship where I feel pretty comfortable being myself, and now I find media like she-ra more fulfilling to consume. That was kind of rambling but my ultimate point is that like, it’s pretty relatable to feel this way, and you’re most likely not going to feel that way forever.
