I wish I was gay sooner. Coming out later in life, realizing you're gay, queer self discovery, and being a late bloomer in your 20s or 30s is more common than we think—and I want to talk about all of it. In this video, I’m sharing my personal journey of figuring out I was queer towards the end of college, navigating the confusing years of dating men, and finally realizing I was only interested in women. I talk about what it was like to come out, fall in love with my girlfriend, and find sapphic community later in life. This is for the queer creatives who feel like they’re behind or wondering if they missed their window. You didn’t. I hope my story reminds you that it’s never too late to bloom, be seen, and feel deeply loved—for exactly who you are. If any part of this resonates, I’d love to hear your story in the comments. And if you’re still figuring things out, that’s okay too. There’s space for you here. 🫶🌈 #lgbtqia #sapphic #pridemonth Thanks for watching! 😊 ❤️ Kristen The best is yet to come.
