Coincidence or fate?
I have been in love with people who have never seen me. In high school, I could wake up that morning, and do everything for that person in mind. But right when I would pass them in the hallway, I would melt, evaporating like ice on hot pavement. I promise you no one knew me like I knew them. I was quiet, and I genuinely enjoyed the company of others, I just couldn’t bring myself to participate in the moment.

What Lesbianism Means to Me
I’m a lesbian. I’m 21 and I can say that with a fact I am gay. At 14 I learned what the words "gay" and "lesbian" meant. I guess I was just really naive as a child. At 15 I got my first girlfriend and told my family (before my friends). But for a long time I struggled with how to express myself. I didn’t know of any other lesbians and the one girl I did know I was dating. I had all these preconceived ideas that I had to be ‘butch’ and dress masculine to be a ‘real lesbian’. So that’s what I did.

The Ghost and the Single Woman
My twenties were full of everything. Getting my feet wet with new experiences, new places, new people, you name it, the world was my oyster. My thirties I went full speed into exploring all that life had to offer, especially in the dating scene. With a little more experience and knowledge under my belt in my 30s, I took the bull by both horns with no fear. I was educated, confident, attractive, and full of sexual desire. I had enough amazing dates to write a best selling romance novel.

The Time I Cried
Okay, before I start I would like to introduce myself. My name is Jordan and I am 18 years old. I live in England with my parents, oh and I'm gay. I realised I was gay around the age of 12 but remained closeted for the next five years. What I am about to tell you happened when I was 12, roughly three weeks after I had figured out who I was.

Meeting Magic
I'm gonna write about the time I met my soulmate. But let me go back in time before this. I used to live in Brownsville Texas, I was really lost and confused most of my life. I never really knew why I was such a sensitive misunderstood person. I was always able to feel people's energies and emotions around me and never understood that they weren't MY emotions. I was very intuitive and I never knew I possessed these gifts. I moved to Mexico to go live with my dad for some time. I was having family problems and I just couldn't take it anymore, I wanted to start over new. That entire year I lived with my dad, I was very isolated, I was homesick and I was lonely. But all of that changed once I started to get to know myself. I read alot more about spirituality and my personality. I found out that I love to paint, read and draw. That entire time, was what I was doing for myself. Isolation really helped me, it clarified my thoughts, especially with meditation. After a year, on Christmas day I got a new phone and my cousin had a friend she knew for some time but never really talked to him. Somehow they reconnected and I found out he knew English so I was very eager to find someone to speak to and have a friend who spoke English because in Mexico everyone speaks Spanish. I took his number from my cousin's phone and just sent a random message. He replied very quickly and that same night we started talking about spirituality. It was the excitement that I found someone that was interested in everything I was! That knew what I knew! We kept talking and eventually we met up. I was very attracted to the way his mentality was, I never really knew what he looked like honestly. We met at his house and we planned to watch a documentary on Pink Floyd. The first time I saw him, I felt so amazed by this human being. He was so beautiful, and shy. He seemed emotionless. We walked into his property and his dog jumped all over me. I'm not really sure if I should explain every detail but I'll go ahead and jump a little forward. We went into his room and the first thing I saw was that he had so many records. So many music, he was very musical and he loved instruments. I was browsing through the music and he told me to pick one, I got shy and told him to pick one for me. So he picked a pink floyd album and played it. We stood there for a couple seconds and he slowly sat on his bed, and just layed back. I turned to look at him, wondering whether I should do the same, so I did. I followed his body language. I felt very attracted to him, pulled to him in a very magnetic way. We layed in silence, just staring at the ceiling, feeling the music. I felt the energy between us become stronger and I know he felt it too. It made me a bit nervous but I never felt any sexual intentions. We just purely layed there. The song that was playing was called Time. Every vibration of that song, I could feel in my bones. I was simply being. Simply experiencing. Once the song ended we went to his living room and we wanted to watch the documentary but it wouldnt play for some reason, so we ended up watching a movie. He sat in one of the chairs and we've always talked about giving each other a massage and I noticed he was touching his neck in pain kind of. So I offered him a massage, it was such a funny moment because it was very unexpected. I tried to put as much healing into his neck and shoulders, in a way it felt like I was just giving him affection and it felt right. There was alot of attraction, after he returned the favor and we just sat down together. I noticed as I was watching the movie he kept staring at me. I looked at him and said "What?" He said, "Nothing"and smiled, after a few minutes he softly asked me if I wanted to kiss. I was confused and surprised. I said, "Is that what you were thinking this entire time?" He said,"Yes" and gave a smirk. I felt in these moments I wanted to connect with him already. I took that risk, and I made the first move. I put my arms around him and slowly kissed him. The moment our lips touched, it was so electric. Magnetic and we just hugged each other tightly. It has always felt like our bodies were in the way. Like our souls just wanted to collide. From that day forward we completely connected and fell in love. It was never questioned, it just happened. This picture above represents what I experienced and I magically stumbled upon it on the internet. I was always so inspired by him too, I wrote a book for him and I wrote this story from my side and everything I felt towards him. The time we met was very synchronized, we met when the time was right. Meeting him helped me grow as a person, I learned many things from him and he learned many things from me. My time in mexico was a growing experience and I learned about myself. I made many memories with him, the simplest ones. The ones that can be understood without words. By simply feeling and trusting. Unfortunately my time with him ended because I had to come back to Texas. To continue growing, it was a sacrifice I had to make but I care about myself alot. Til this day we speak every day. We are no longer romantically involved because of distance but what remains is pure unconditional love. I love him very deeply as a person, and I hope to reconnect with him soon.

Broken Glass
There was a room, and in that room were three things. One was a lightbulb that was off so no one could see what was going on, two was a chair that sat alone in the corner with no one there to watch, three was you, separated into shattered pieces of glass in a pile on the floor. This is where you are now, because your past has left you like this. Now you must move forward and put the pieces together again, but only you can truly figure out the way you piece together.

Are You DTF?
Alright, so here’s the deal: We’ve all done something we are not proud of. Whether it’s stealing $5 from your mom’s purse or simply telling your friend that she definitely looked good in that neon orange shirt she wore on her date last weekend when she clearly did not. Either way, it’s a low point. And those low points can either make for huge regrets later down the road, or hilarious anecdotes shared over drinks. Fortunately, this story falls on the latter side of the spectrum.

Horoscopes
It wasn't until I met my S.O. that I became the most interested in zodiacs. Up until then, I was sure that the only man for me was an Aquarius because I fell in love with one in the past; the most in love I think I've ever been. The last time we spent together, I wasn't aware that it was the last time. I thought that we would be spending forever together but it turned out that wasn't the case. Lets just say he didn't have my best interest at heart.
