Speak to anyone who has ever grappled with their sexuality and they will be able to tell you a work of fiction that helped them through it To many people over the past year and a half, that was Heartstopper 🖋️ alexjpollard
The idea that I might be bisexual was so inconceivable that I had never thought about it. That was the case until a school trip, where I ended up sleeping in the same bed as one of my male friends. Although nothing happened, I realised that the way I felt about him was the same as the way I had felt about female crushes in the past. It was a shocking moment for me. The idea that I might be bisexual suddenly came crashing down on me.
Since reading the books and watching the Netflix show two weeks ago, I’ve been inspired to turn my life around and live as fully and authentically as possible. I’ve bought a stack of bisexual literature to help me continue along my journey of self discovery, and started making a plan to come out to my family. Thanks to Alice Oseman and her work, I feel like a completely new person: someone who’s not afraid to live fully, authentically, and queerly.
When I was questioning everything a few months ago, I was searching for any bi content online that might help me navigate my sexuality. I didn’t even know where to start and was a little overwhelmed. Then I found. It changed my life. I cried so many times watching this show. It felt incredibly validating to watch a young bi person come to terms with their own sexuality and to see young queer love blossom.
A couple of years ago, I started watching gay movies and TV shows just for fun, and the one that stood out to me the most was. The scene where Nick and Charlie are on the sofa, and Charlie is asleep, and Nick wants to touch his hand, was something I saw myself doing in high school. Seeing them being together made me realise how much I have missed in my life by not truly being who I am. I’d never felt that much emotion from a TV show.
