Two best friends realize they're in love on camera & the internet can't look away - Queerty

"Valentine's Day is almost upon us, and while some cynics might call it a fake holiday invented to get us through the dismal hump of February, it's still powerful enough to spark some very real romantic confessions. It's also a reminder that even in the trenches of a new year starting off on a pretty rough note, there's reason to hold out hope that against all odds, you might just find your Shane Hollander (or Ilya Rozanoff) when and where you least expect it."

"Nicole Sophia is a musician trying to make it all happen in her 20s, and falling in love in the process. After moving to a new city last year, she fell in with a new group of friends, one of which ended up becoming "some kind of soulmate" after an impromptu romantic confession.

""I'm convinced that one of my best friends is my soulmate," Sophia says in a TikTok posted earlier this week. "But I don't really know what kind of soulmates we are...I think she and I would be amazing romantic partners but I also think we might be destined to be the best of friends." Definitely a relatable lesbian feeling if ever there was one."

Valentine's Day can prompt romantic confessions even amid a difficult start to a new year. A musician named Nicole Sophia moved to a new city, joined a group of friends, and came to believe one friend might be a soulmate. Sophia expressed uncertainty about whether the soulmate connection would be romantic or strictly platonic. She filmed a TikTok in which she played a new love song for that friend to gauge their reaction and warned the friend not to hate her before revealing her feelings. There was initial suspense as the friend began to understand what Sophia was communicating, and the confession resulted in mutual feelings, producing a friends-to-lovers resolution that resonated with viewers.
