By now, pretty much any queer girl with access to a television or Netflix is all about Emily Fields. In case you're not, we'll fill you in (and, like, we're so sad for you). Played by the hyper-beautiful Shay Mitchell, Emily Fields is the super gay, super stunning, cool girl of the ever-popular Pretty Little Liars. When she came out in the show's first season, we knew it was gonna be good. So, of course, we've been with her ever since.

In short, Emily Fields is all of us. Who better to illustrate what it's like to come out as a queer girl?

1. First, you’re overwhelmed. Like, are you gay? Are you bi? Pan? Where do you fit? WHO ARE YOU?

2. And you’re still hanging out with friends who insist on saying things like “that’s so gay” and throwing around slurs.

3. You come to terms with who you are, which takes time, but eventually you find yourself.

4. Feeling brave, you finally get rid of those crappy, unsupportive friends, because you’re better than that.

5. And when you find the people who love you the way you are, you basically burst with PRIDE.

18. The morning after when you show up to brunch ready to spill it all.
