19F, started OF on impulse and now I’m kinda liking it… Is this a huge mistake or a normal part of figuring myself out?

So yeah… I just turned 19 and a while back I started OF. Honestly it was kinda an emotional/impulse decision at the time, like I wasn’t even thinking straight, just going through a lot and did it anyway.

But now I’m lowkey starting to like it??? Or at least I don’t feel as freaked out by it as I did in the beginning. Idk if that’s good or bad.

I guess I’m kinda stuck between “this is empowering” and “am I making dumb long term choices??” Some days I feel confident as hell, other days I’m like why did I even start any of this lol...

Anyway, if anyone’s been 19 and confused as hell about life decisions (OF or not), or if you’ve been through something similar, I’d appreciate any advice. Like how do you know if you’re doing something because it’s actually right for you vs just reacting to life being chaotic?

Not trying to start drama or get judged, just legit don’t know what I’m doing half the time...

Thanks I guess
