“Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.” -Holden Caulfield
Throughout my life I have read many books that tear into my soul and truly leave a gripping and lasting impression on me. Animal Farm, 1984, Jane Eyre, Gathering Blue, The Giver and Ella Enchanted, to name a few.

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared

Untitled Chapter one: A Family table Dinner Discussion
I thought about Al and I’s conversation over and over in my mind as I rode on the bus. It was the first time someone close to me has ever mentioned sexuality, and it made me unquestionably uncomfortable. It wasn’t because it was Al, no, if it was anyone else but Al, I would have not even tried to discuss it.

The Apple of your eye
All my life I wanted to find a capable, intelligent and lovely lady that I could fall in love with and properly marry off to make her my wife and Queen. I have a vast kingdom to rule and my father, the King, expects many great things of me. I wanted someone to rule with me and to share the wealth that my birthright secured along with the obligation of duty. My mother, the Queen, had her doubts.
