On another note, this was so beautiful. I'm in my early 20s, in college, and although the story isn't entirely similar, I resonated with Andy so much.
I was never able to really catch or process romantic feelings when I was younger. And now that I've reached a point I'm able to. It had to be a close straight friend of mine.
He doesn't know about it of course. And I've more or less normal about him now, ever since I realized I like him. I'm truly not expecting anything more out of our relationship. But it was hard making myself believe that.
