To A Lovely Mother, I’ve always wished that you might accept every part of who I fully am and with an open mind and open arms. I’ve heard the way you speak about people like me. People who love other people who also happen to share genders. I have always wanted to tell you that I like women the w...
To My Male 11th grade English Teacher, I know that it’s been 31 years now since I was a student in your class, but I wanted to apologize for my behavior towards you. You were as kind as can be expected towards me, but I was too young and troubled to appreciate this back then. To refresh your memo...

It is approaching one year since my mother's passing. Which means this Wednesday will be one-year since we re-met again for the1st time. I...
To A Close Friend, I never told you about the time a group of people threatened my friends and myself because of our orientation. It was 10 years ago and we were on the beach.
