The Handmaiden

ok so storytime: as a fruit loop myself i've been questioning my sexuality from a very young age (10 to be exact) and i really didn't know who i was on top of the bullying i was going through at the time, i was completely lost, (sounds emo i know) i really didn't appreciate who i was, i hated my looks , my personality plus i was being heavily body shamed by my grandpa so that was pretty sucky too. Anyway , with all that shit going on , i was suppressing my sexuality cause i didn't want to be singled out even more. After watching this film when i was 14-15 it was like an enlightenment. Seeing those gorgeous women fall in love so freely and Hideko saying the biggest fuck you to the male race it was liberating to see. A few months later i made the big decision to come out to my aunt and friends as a bisexual and now i'm basically out to everyone except my dad cause he's a raging homophobe and i ain't fucking with that shit and it's a problem for another day. This film means the world to me not only because it's a masterpiece of filmmaking and gorgeous overall it made me find who i was and come to terms with something i've been struggling with basically my whole life.
