Darling Timmy, Listening to So Close by Jon McLaughlin at 3 AM, I could only smile with a heavy sigh as I try to express this feeling at the end of my fingertips. Please absolve me, my dearest, for all the things that I am about to say to you for my melancholic heart is …

Very passionate free spirit from the Philippines. I spent most of my time either daydreaming or making them happen. Will be backpacking the world soon.
You’ve probably seen enough viral videos of people coming out to their parents and if that’s what you’re expecting from me today, then you must know that I never dared to do that because I’ve never been a brave kid growing up. I came out by just replying a sad face emoji to my dad …
Growing up in a world where its people are non-stop imposing the ‘God only created Adam and Eve’ card is probably one of the hardest things a gay child could ever experience. Being labeled as stupid, not normal, and by just the treatment that they are somewhat different can cause serious scars to a child’s …
