Feeling Confused About My Sexuality After a Recent Relationship

I've always thought I had a pretty clear idea of my sexuality, but after a recent relationship, I'm feeling really confused. I identified as straight for most of my life, but this past relationship was with someone of the same gender, and it brought up a lot of feelings I hadn't expected. It wasn't just physical attraction; there was something deeper, more emotional that surprised me.

I'm trying to be open to whatever this means for me, but it's hard not to feel a bit lost. I worry about labels and whether I should even use one right now. Sometimes I feel like I want to explore more, and other times I just want to sit with the uncertainty without rushing to define anything.

Has anyone else gone through a similar experience of feeling their sexuality shift or expand later in life? How did you navigate that confusion without pressure? Would love to hear your stories or advice on being gentle with myself during this process.
