when was your gay awakening

i always kind off accepted the possibility that i might like women. but i labeled myself as straight back then because I haven't really liked any girl in particular throughout my life... until i fell for my friend dhskdhk :((

anyway long story short i confessed because i didn't want to develop anymore feelings if it was going nowhere. she rejected (not because shes straight but because she only sees me as a friend).
were good friends up to now, and we gay panic over pretty girls we find in instgram and twitter

anyways, what was your gay awakening? did you even have an awakening or you kinda just knew from the begining? let me know :))
