Journal Entry #9

Dear Diary,

Today was confusing for me.  I feel like I'm being pulled in a million different directions. So, remember that audition I was so nervous about? Well, it happened, and let me tell you, it was nothing like I expected
Before the audition, I met up with Lily, and she surprised me by apologizing for what happened at the club. She said she never meant to put me in that uncomfortable situation and that she understands if I'm upset with her. I could see the sincerity in her eyes, Diary, and it made me realize that she's not just a friend, but someone who genuinely cares about me.
But then, things took another unexpected turn. As we were waiting for our turn to audition, Lily whispered in my ear that the commercial we were trying out for involved two female lesbians who kiss. My heart skipped a beat, Diary. I didn't know how to process this information.
Lily convinced me that I should go for it, even though I'm not gay. She said, "It's called acting for a reason, Wawchan. You don't have to be gay to play a gay character." And, Diary, as much as I wanted to protest, a part of me felt drawn to the challenge.
So, when it was our turn to audition, I took a deep breath and leaned into the role. Lily and I shared a kiss for the cameras, and for a brief moment, it felt like time stood still. It was my first adult kiss ever, Diary, and it left my brain spinning with complicated emotions.
After the audition, as I walked home alone, I couldn't shake the feeling of confusion swirling inside me. Was it wrong to pretend to be someone I'm not? Was it okay to kiss Lily like that, even if it was just acting? I don't have the answers, Diary, and I'm not sure if I'll ever find them.
Fluffington (my bed) feels like a sanctuary right now, but my mind is racing with questions and uncertainties. I just hope I made the right choice, whatever that may be.

Feeling conflicted and unsure,

Wawchan
