The lovely redhead, who now appears on Riverdale, explained that it’s been a struggle and a “process” for her to get comfortable with her sexuality.
She also addressed how difficult it’s been to “come to terms” with her sexuality and her faith, as the 19-year-old is deeply religious.
Getting comfortable with your sexuality is a process. It’s going to be ok. I wish I’d known that sooner.

Another thing I wish I’d known about sexuality is to take it slow. It can define you as much as you want it to.

Either way, I know what it’s like to have anxiety about it. Especially trying to come to terms with it and my faith. It can be really scary.

But it’s gonna be ok. You’re going to be ok. No, you’re going to be great.

All that to say, you’re not alone. You’re in my prayers and, if you’re the praying kind, please keep me in yours. ├░┼╕ΓÇÖ┼ô
