or when you have to pretend that you only date guys because of heteronormativity.
talking to a cousin about height. told him he was taller than me, that most chicks stop growing around my age and that he'll keep growing upward for another seven-ish years before the height descends to his stomach. him saying i'm pretty tall and thinking i'll realistically get taller than my current 5'3.5.
"at least it won't be as hard to find a guy who's taller than you."
with reluctance, i go along, knowing that if he knew i like girls too his little pure christian brain would be split in two.
so i pretended to be a straight girl. (despite the common belief that true ones don't exist.)
