#ThatAwkwardMomentWhen: You return to your car only to find out someone has been sleeping in it

I spent about 5 minutes reminiscing about everything that had been and everything that was going to be. The last time I was here I was a naive girl that had just driven cross country for three days with a couple hundred dollars to her name, and an apartment found on craigslist.

#BrutalHonesty: A step in trust and a story about dealing with your sexuality

The reason that I am writing about my sexuality is because of this story. I'm not gay or transgender but I know what it's like to feel out of place and alone in your sexuality. It has brought me a lot of happiness to see how far we have come in our acceptance of human sexuality but we still have much further to go. This is my small step to help in this movement...
