"I'll never, ever, forgive you!' She said as she pointed a shaky, accusing forefinger at me. "You disappoint me, Junior." I let my gaze fall to my feet, noticing the contrast between my white toe nails and my black skin as if the feet do not belong to me. Sweat coated the back of my arms, folded in front of me as my fingers danced an erratic pattern at my sides. Shame blinded me. I wanted to say something, to tell her that this isn't my fault. I wanted to tell her that I was born t

I loved the flow of the story. It became more than the first line. I was curious as to why Andy wasn't directly contacted by his family and I feel like the explanation offered the end of the story was unsatisfactory. Meh. Great story, though. I love little Sophie.

So I read this interesting article: http://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/gay-loneliness/ It postulates that gay men suffer from something it called Minority Stress even though we have it better now than we did twenty years ago, at least in the West. What are you thoughts?

Happy Birthday, CG! Do have a wonderful day and the next 365 days reward you with joy, success and peace. Hopefully, by next year, I'd have more than that to say.

Awesome story! Loved it. You inspired me.

Even though this sounded like blasphemy, I understand that people have different tastes. If you've listened to 'Set Fire To The Rain', 'Rolling In The Deep', 'Lovesong' and 'Send My Love', you should love Adele. However, we won't hold it against you if you don't...

25 is a good album. It isn't exactly 21, but its much better than 19. It has nice songs on it, my favorites being I Miss You, Send My Love, Remedy, Hello, Love In The Dark and River Lea. However, it doesn't have the same energy as 21 (in songs like Set Fire To The Rain). I was surprised that the album won Album of the Year at the Grammys over Beyonce's Lemonade, and so was she (Adele). But that said, she is still a goddess and has my heart. LOL.

Emeli Sande's Selah. Her 'Long Live The Angels' album is lit!

I've been to only one concert and so...its my favorite! Lol. Phyno, a national superstar around here came to my town and I was dragged over there by friends that consider me too introverted. It turned out to be a pretty decent evening/night as I got to chat with them and had a good time with them. I got a headache from the blaring music speakers and singing along with the singer and watching friends got drunk. Lol.

Daddy Cool by Boney M. I've been playing their Greatest Hits album for a while now.

Okay. Joint in the debate I would have to say that even though I learnt English as a second language, I write it better than my native language. It just happened. I prefer speaking in my native language, but I write better English than my native language. Sigh. I think this has a lot to do with the fact that English is bossy. It doesn't beg you to learn it, commands you to learn it. There are a lot of influences around that forced me to learn English. I had a wide range of English media available to me which facilities easy learning. The same, can't be said for Spanish which I am trying to learn. So to answer Canuk's question, I think it's because English has basic structure, which if gotten right, comprehension can be achieved even if grammar rules and punctuation rules are thrown to the wind. I appreciate this point because my native language has more than 50 dialects, each with its own tone, accent and whatnot, but essentially, everybody understands everybody once they get the basics right.

Finding and accepting oneself is one of the best things in the world. I believe your story is an inspiration to some other people out there who is going through te phase you passed through. It will help them understand that ITS OKAY, it's going to be okay... Thanks.
