i have vivid memories from when i was younger, between the ages of like 9 and 14, consciously trying to make myself have crushes on random mediocre boys i knew just because i knew girls were ‘supposed’ to have crushes on boys. it reached the extent where i always felt awkward around boys because i felt like i should be attracted to them and consequently tried to force myself to be

but thinking about my childhood/early teen years in retrospect i can think of numerous girls who i had crushes on, except i didn’t recognise it at the time because i hadn’t even realised crushes on other girls were a thing i could have. and these weren’t subtle crushes, i just completely failed to recognise them and instead grew up feeling weird and alienated by love/romance because nobody ever gave me any indication that liking girls was fine and okay
