I just unlocked a queer childhood memory lol. The neighbour kids across the street had some cousins that would visit from Mexico, and I would hang out with them. They had this one cousin and she was a little older than me, and I really looked up to her. She was very smart,

and had excellent manors, she was just so sweet, and I thought she was so pretty. I was maybe 9 when I first met her. I loved hanging out with her, and I was happy whenever she would come to town. One time when she was staying across the street, she had a knitting loom

and was making a scarf, and I thought it was so cool since I knew how to crochet, and had never seen a knitting loom. She showed me how to use it, and I ended up getting one later. I still have it, and when I see it I think about her. Just now I was remembering her, and I

all of a sudden go “OHHHHHH” lol I totally had a huge crush on her, and I just didn’t realise it because of compulsory heterosexuality lol. I’m such an idiot lol. I’m gonna quote tweet this thread with another one about a different very gay crush I had as a kid lol
