Is This Shock?
I'm honestly starting to think I'm in shock.
I mean, how are you supposed to react when one of your friends you've been close to for 3 years suddenly turns out to be a lesbian?
Since she told me, I've been in a daze. I feel like I've been dreaming.
This is all a dream right? She's not having a pool party tomorrow and then going on a date with her girlfriend afterwards, is she?
I keep thinking, "She's not actually gay, is she? I just made that up, right?"
And then I come back to reality, and she does actually have a girlfriend.
I'm just shocked.
I have nothing against lesbians or gay men, but it's just not something you would expect.
I feel like I'm acting like a mother. I feel like I'm just completely over-reacting about this, though I haven't said anything to her or about her being a lesbian; I just accepted it and left her alone.
But I still feel like I'm in shock.
It's one of the only things I can think about right now.
I almost feel like she just stabbed me in the back.
Or in the heart.
Because I didn't know this before.
And it's starting to seem like a few people knew for a little while before I found out.
I never suspected this one friend to be a lesbian.
It just didn't occur to me that it's possible that some of my friends may be, in fact, lesbians.
I'm honestly starting to think I'm in shock.
