Coming to terms with my sexuality wasn’t a single moment or announcement. It happened slowly, over years, often without me noticing. In this episode, I talk through that process: growing up without role models, learning how to mute parts of myself, and building a life long before I ever thought of it as a “journey.”
Then I watched/read Heated Rivalry. The characters and story acted as a mirror for me, giving me a clearer view of that past and made me realize the journey I'd undertaken almost 20 years ago. This episode isn’t a review or a hot take. It’s a reflection on a life accidentally well lived, despite its start.
