Thank you. That's very kind of you to say, Will. I appreciate it. As for 'then'... I hadn't really noticed, lol! I guess it is pretty common. Think it's Britain-wide.
didn’t know how much i missed you
’til i spoke to you again
it’s been years but still you knew me
like it was yesterday
and i told you what had happened
in my life, and you in yours
closer now than ever
we’re the same, you and i
never knew how much i loved you
’til agape spread her wings
over every word we spoke
and every thought
you always listen to my ranting
as i listen to yours
nothing’s secret, nothing’s wrong

The concept of justice. In the US, justice is about punishment. Punishing people largely does not work. In many other countries, the justice system focuses discipline and rehabilitation. Correction. This is what you did wrong and here's how not to do it again rather than here is what you did wrong and you're being punished for it. That's my opinion, anyway.
That's pretty funny, what your grandmother said. I don't think that not coming out to her has anything to do with strength, though. That stuff is hard, and sometimes we worry about the feelings of others as well. Not just about whether they'll accept us, but also how it'll make them feel. I don't think I'll ever come out to my grandmother, not out of worry about her accepting me, but because she wouldn't understand and it would be distressing to her.
I'm actually part Norwegian, part Finnish, but I've lived in the UK and spoken English fluently since early childhood. When I write in English, setting my stories in the UK makes the most sense to me. Thanks for reading, and I'm glad you're enjoying my story!
Thank you, and thanks for all your comments. I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say that Loz is just as much a victim as Daniel, but they've certainly both been through hell.
