Do you remember the first time you kissed a girl? That insane, intense rush that solidified the fact that you knew you were a lesbian (or bi!).

It consumed you for days, going over it in your mind, wanting more! Kissing is amazing, and I remember my first time.

She was a little older, we were at a huge party—I was nervous. She’d been giving me signals all night, and I was too afraid to act, and finally, just before I was ready to give up and leave, she cornered me. Not in an oh-crap-I’m-trapped-here way; more like, oh-yes-it’s-finally-happening! 

She smelled like beer and cigarettes and this vanilla perfume you can get at Victoria’s Secret, and her hands were incredibly soft when she touched my face. Her lips tasted like mint Chapstick, a taste that still sometimes reminds me of her, all these years later.

I knew before she kissed me that I was bi—I’d known for a long time. And when she kissed me, I knew for sure.

I kissed a girl, and I liked it!
