I spend lots of time in David’s apartment, we talk about everything and nothing.
Being a lesbian was a lonely experience until I met them.
In this tiny space the two of us have cried, laughed, disagreed, danced, and just about everything else.
To me, being a lesbian wouldn’t mean anything without the good friends that make us feel seen.
