Wondering

I wrote Wondering about my journey discovering my sexuality
This was written a year before she kissed my breath away
At the time I thought I was in love with a boy
But my anxiety reguarding my sexuality took the best of me:
What if I'm gay and don't know it?
What if dating a girl is different?
What if I will forever question my sexuality?
I want to know what it's like to be in love with a girl
What if I never get that chance if I stay with him?
This song is a reflection of what I've experienced up until then
I've always been boy crazy
When I sing "I had my first crush in kindergarten"
I meant it
And I had several at once
I've had crushes on girls too without realizing it
My best friend in elementary school was my first real girl crush
She was the new kid in third grade and I
for some reason
Really Really Really wanted to be her friend
I was obsessed with Vanessa Hudgens in HSM
(Zac Efron did nothing for me)
The signs were there
I just didn't see them
I came out as bi in 2015
Then proceeded to quadruple guess myself for 7 more years
I was your stereotypical confused bisexual
I hurt a lot of people because of it
I would confuse actual problems with boys
With wanting to be with women
Being gay was my escape mechanism
I've grown a lot since then
I'm in a place where I no longer feel pressure to date any particular gender
I am currently happily single
I wanted Wondering to be the last song on the album
Because it summarizes my experience as a bisexual as a whole
A Very Bisexual Song is my most popular song
But it only references the stereotypes
I wanted to release a song that shows my real experiences
Bisexuality is more complex than cuffed jeans
