Out of The Shadows and Into The Light
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my lifetime, it’s that nothing goes as planned. As such, coming out didn’t happen at all the way I planned it.

Somebody Loses
It was an accident, Dad said, his shoulders hunched up around his ears. He doubled the aggression of the windshield wipers with a flick of his wrist. I don’t know how it happened. At our age I just didn’t think it was very likely.

Homos versus Heteros
In life, we are, us. Beings. With our differences: skin colours, religions, characters, physiques with all and each one one true! Our sorrows, our anguish, our joy, and our anger. It is ok to be different. One learns from the other.

I’m a Girl in Love With a Gay Guy
I would never have thought that my views could have changed the way they did. Everything that I believed was right or trusted slowly crumbled under the weight of thought. No changes would have occured this year if it wouldn’t have been for “him”.
