Labels Are Over-Rated

I have spent so many years trying to live the life I was told to....so many wasted confused silly years. But hopefully I have turned a corner and am starting to follow what I want and need. Hopefully one day it will be all better!

I know series three is ages old.  I’ve watched it probably three or four times.  I don’t know why it took yet another rewatching for me to realize just why I love this scene so much but I am sometimes incredibly slow.
So this moment right here may not look like much.  Naomi has woken up before Emily after a night of drinking and talking.  At this point she knows Emily is attracted to her.  They’ve kissed but it’s something she could dismiss because they were wasted.  Here though, she’s just waking up.  She’s not worried about how people will see her or what any of this could mean.  She opens her eyes and sees this girl, and there is a moment, even if it’s incredibly brief where it’s all so painfully normal.  Where she knows she could have this every day and that she might just want it.  It’s that knowledge that has her reaching out to run her fingers through Emily’s hair.  And it’s so brief.  Barely an instant before the fear kicks in again, but it’s there.  And it will change everything.
That is why this scene is probably one of my favorites and why I love it so much.  It’s small, just one moment and seemingly insignificant in the scheme of things.  Except it’s not.  This is how life changes.  One tiny moment at a time.  It’s brilliant.

Naomi: I know what you are.
Emily: Say it…out loud. Say it!
Naomi: A lesbian.
Emily: Are you afraid?
Naomi: No.
About 3 things I was absolutely positive:

About 3 things I was absolutely positive:
First, Emily was a lesbian.
Second, there was a part of her, and I didn’t know how dominant that part might be, that wanted to bed me.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with her.
