The Edge of Love
Alone. That is all I felt. Ever since I can remember, everybody I loved eventually broke my heart. Every friend I made turned their back on me, every lover I had been with also left me in the dark. At the age of seventeen I was done with everything. I had given up on the hope that anyone would ever love me, that anyone would truly care. Turning to alcohol and pot to be my savior against all the pain. Anything that would take me away from this place called Earth, I wanted it.

Fallen
Once, there was a boy who sang sad songs and drank his troubles away. He smoked to make the pain go numb, even if it meant the rest of him felt numb, as well. He used angel dust to find the confidence he couldn’t seem to grasp on his own, and the things that kept him up at night, he would put into lyrics and strum them with cut fingers in acoustic on his guitar. I can’t believe someone like him would ever say hi to me, would ever think I’m pretty, or want to see how my mind works.

One Summer Night
Do you ever just sit back and think “how the fuck did I end up here?” For me, it happens all the time. I’m currently sitting at Starbucks angry as hell because its been almost four fucking months and I still can’t get one summer night out of my head. It also sucks knowing that the other person doesn’t give a shit and has probably never thought back to that one night, but that’s okay. I’m going to tell you one of the most magical nights of my life and why four months later, I still crave to feel as free as I did that one summer night.

It Started with a Cup of Coffee
The first time I saw him he was on stage playing guitar. I looked up at this man and thought to myself, "That's him, that's the man I am going to marry." Immediately after I thought, "that's silly you can't just think that about a random guy."

That One Relationship That Could Have Killed You
Have you ever been blind due to something you call love? Well, I’m going to tell you about my story where I was completely blind to what I thought was love. It all started June 20, 2013. It was near the end of my sophomore year of high school. I had been crushing on this one boy all year long and he had finally noticed me and asked me out. Of course I said yes right away but little did I know what was going to happen.

Hurt
It all started sophomore year of high school. I met this guy at church. We dated for 3 months and I broke up with him after he kept begging for me to take his virginity. We went our separate ways. Two years later we meet again. It's our senior year. I’m dating his best friend. Little did I know they were best friends. It was awkward. Fast forward to graduation morning. We’re getting our cap and gowns. I'm going around seeing friends and there he is again. My heart stopped. We were the only two in the room, what it felt like. He was tall and handsome. I told myself, “No, I can’t like you. I can’t.” I invited him over to my house. His car broke down and he pulled over to fix it. He needed a shower. So I said he could have a shower. It was a bad idea. We were home alone. We kissed. My heart stopped again. The world stopped moving and I fell in love. I knew he was going to be the one for me. But I couldn't. I had to hate him. Fast forward to July. Mind you this is all in the year of 2016. We got together officially. We told my parents in August. Him and I dealt with a lot. It made us stronger.

What the 'B' in 'LGBT Really Stands For
Here's the short version of my romantic history: I exclusively dated men until I was 20-years-old, when I fell in love one of my best female friends. She and I have now been together for nearly 11 years and are happily married. Despite the happy ending, suddenly realizing I wasn't straight was definitely a shock, and it took a lot of adjusting and reflecting to understand what it meant for me.
