where I waste/envy my life away:
Siophie – Sophie and Sian from Coronation Street
Naomily – Naomi and Emily from Skins season 3 and 4
Dana and Alice – The L Word
Calzona – Callie and Arizona from Grey’s Anatomy
Alice Pieszecki – The L Word
Shane McCutcheon -The L Word
Upon searching for the full length movie “Water Lilies” on youtube, I navigated from one lesbian couple videos to another. They are lesbian pairings found in popular media (mostly movies or TV shows). One particular find was Naomi and Emily from the British TV series Skins.
After watching their story, my heart filled with hope and I was greatly encouraged. If I had come across this story sooner (like, say, this time last year), maybe I would’ve went out and taken a risk at getting my heart broken.
See, exactly a year ago, I went to a friend’s birthday party and almost slept with the person I liked then (Iknowright? You don’t get that kind of chance very often). I say almost because we slept next to each other, literally, on the same bed. I was only a kiss away, but I couldn’t go through with it knowing that what we were about to do would have meant differently for each of us. I guess that wouldn’t be a big deal for some people; when they’re half intoxicated desires take control. But I was a logical person -perhaps one too logical, even when it comes to romance- and being logical meant I can’t comprehend the fact that the morning after would be… different. Our friendship, our relationship, our behaviour and actions toward each other might not be the way it was, and the thought of that scared me.
But things afterwards weren’t that glorious either. I regretted not being able to muster up the courage to at least kiss her that night. I regretted leaving things the way they were, and I regretted not being brave enough to tell her how I felt… if only I had known Naomily’s courage (and be inspired by it), I may not be single right now… Just sayin’.
