Because unlike with other dynamics, there's this connection between lesbians that's.. kind of impossible to articulate.
And yet it makes perfect sense. Because it's something that lives inside you. It's always been there.
It's a connection that in many ways makes you know who you are.
And you're giving all of that to another person.

Not only are you putting yourself on the line.. you risk losing the intimacy of that friendship.
Because reciprocation is far from guaranteed. And when it isn't.. it can get ugly.
It can make you feel that you've lost parts of yourself.
And there so often seem to be no reasons at all why this would find you.
This: the connection.
You're so used to feeling alone, that intimacy seems alien.
Something you maybe doubt you've ever seen.
Something of which you're only allowed glimpses.
Something that has broken you in the past.
And confronting that is terrifying.
But god.. when you do.
When it's reciprocated.
When you give yourself to another lesbian, and they give themselves back..
There's nothing in the world that comes close.
