Identity
I feel my calling, Let It Be
As I have watched this year go by, I have been paying more attention to issues surrounding LGBTQ youth. I am paying closer attention to the mistreatment of those you who identify as gay ( I will use this term instead of LGBTQ) throughout the article. There is no malice intended, nor insults or disrespect. I am in the same community and with me having cellulitis in my eyes and eye sockets even writing this article is difficult.

Girlflux: what it means, and who I am
I've never seen myself as a typical girl. When I was younger, I was very much a tomboy - I never cared for the stereotypically girly stuff, and I found my fun outside, either riding my bike or playing in the dirt. I didn't feel comfortable in skirts or dresses (I still don't), and no pink for me, thanks. I actively found enjoyment in my rejection of being a 'girly girl'.

Searching for Normal
Most people probably wouldn't choose Provo Utah as a place to live when they are Gay and have a love affair with rocks and incense. I've thought a lot about where to start my story. Should it be back when I was kid being raised in the Catholic church? Or that time I was forced out of the closet and took my family years to be like, "Oh yeah ok, that's fine." I will be going off on some tangents so just bare with me. I promise I have a point... I think... It's an adventure.

Dating while Demi
Demisexual. One of the least known sexualities. Being part of the Asexual family but never invited out. Typically left out, and pushed aside, by just being told, we're too picky or are being too much of a prude. Just lemme smash. No, for so many reasons! So let's start.

Strangers in my Home
Today I walked into my childhood home only to find it full of strangers. Everything about the house, from the dusty rafters to the cool, clean tiles beneath my feet were as familiar to me as my shadow, as the acne scars on my face, as my constant boob sweat. The house wasn’t always comfortable - in the summer the indoor heat was more akin to hell, and my poor gay spirit sweltered under that very Christian environment as a teenager. There was no escape - the house was in the middle of two lackluster suburbs and the wood floors, ceilings, and walls creaked so much that any attempts at sneaking out would have been futile. There were times that I didn’t even bother to acknowledge when I “sinned” - why bother when you’re already there?
