Hey Pandas, What Was Your ‘Gay Awakening’?

My gay awakening happened pretty recently. When i was younger, i obsessed over a girl in my ballet class. i had known her for years, but in this time, i had spoken maybe 3 sentences to her in total. Only recently did i realize that i had a crush on her, and that is was not just platonic admiration. sadly, she moved to a country on the other side of the world, so i have no chance to correct my awkwardness.
