So here’s a personal post. Communication and confidence has always been a dilemma for me. I stutter. I get shy. I come high energy and leave insecure. For what is self awareness (or perhaps paranoia) I’d like to trade in for a cure. Perhaps insight. Insight to be a braver boy would be the ultimate birthday present.
Until then, I’m chuggin’ on. Ciao!

I’m writing letters to my loved ones in case I don’t return from Afghanistan. I hope my partner never has to open his. If he does, it will ask him to tell who I was, because I couldn’t.
I was a teenager when my brother came home with an American flag draped over his coffin, so I...

YOU'RE RIGHT! YOU'RE SOOOOO RIGHT!
I found this to be the best philosophy to move on from an argument. Chances are your pride gets in the way of yourself becoming self aware. Sometimes it’s more beneficial to give in and say, “You’re right. You’re soooooooo right!”

Gay and Homeless: In Plain Sight, A Largely Hidden...
Spending a night apart from Alex, “it seems so small,” he said later. “But when you have nothing but each other, it’s huge.”

The city hipsters sipping expensive coffee and chatting on cellphones did not give a second look at the two young men cutting across a Hollywood courtyard on their way to bed down in a nearby park.
AJ, 23, and his...
Defecation Postponed
It’s never a good sign for the water within a toilet bowl to completely disappear. It usually means one thing. “Did you clog the toilet?” he asked. If this were anyone else’s toilet it’d be incredibly embarrassing, but fortunately the bowl was his. The bad news: he had no plunger. It was late and no store was open. God have mercy.
With a futile flush, he set to...

I miss the days when I’d have to study and would retreat to a shop with wifi and an espresso machine. And...
