everyone keeps commenting about this so i feel compelled to let yall know that i go to a weird tiny school where 15 year olds can, indeed, go to prom! the promposal captured in this was actually real, the actresses were dating at the time. :)

“Maybe it won’t matter in 10 years or 50. But it mattered then”

That hit close to home 😭

[plsarguewithme]

Narrator: It pretty much goes the way you'd expect to go. The awkwardness at first, having nothing to talk about
Me: I know right
Narrator: The flirting
Me: **spits water** i take it back, never got there

"Maybe everyone in love grows apart, at some point" eXcUsE mE OW

1:18 that rainbow shirt and the lock screen of another girl didn’t give it away? Like how tf didn’t they know tho lol

[jeanneperrault]

I wanted to thank you because I can recognise a part of my life in your film. It makes me thinking about what's important: love. Thank you!

[shrekthesloth]

This is me at 13,
Struggling to find myself, but knowing I’m in there somewhere.

[jesusa_ikher]

Then there’s me, only falling in love with straight girls 😂.

Edit: I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND, FUCK YEAH. 6 MONTHS AND GOING

[ItsNikhit]

Now that I'm no longer in my teens, this short film feels like a warm, bittersweet blanket of nostalgia. Loved everything about this.

[kkiten]

me: *yes more cute gay couples*

dad: *looking at yt history* wth...?

me: dad, i got something to tell you..

[nataliealfera]

[gaia]

Damn. I fell in love for the first time at 15, with a girl. This little movie is powerful, hugs and lots of compliments from Italy <3

[mechie]

*wearing a flannel shirt and top with a rainbow*
'they didnt know i liked girls'

sis they just aint paying attention

[Ice-hmtu]

"Maybe first love isn't meant to last. Or maybe we were to young to know how to make it work. Or maybe...we just grew apart. Maybe everyone in love grows apart, eventually." hits me a ton of brick

[postwarglamourgirls]

This is one of the best LGBTQ+ short films I’ve ever seen. It represents it so people don’t think, ‘oh they stay together forever, short films proved it’ because a lot of them do.

[sirinedaye]

Love has no gender❤️
