Confessions of a Gay Man
Derek Smith

I know. The title is so unappealing. However, after talking to people. I feel like I personally need to get some things off my chest. Below is a list of all the things I need to confess.

  • I hate hate hate hate hate the fact that I can be fired because of my sexuality.
  • I feel like myself and anyone who is like me is not accepted in my hometown. It is hard to call it home, when you feel pushed out.
  • College has given me the strength to stand up for what I believe in.
  • I have a lot of fake friends. Not people who are fake. People I allow to believe we are friends. However, I can’t stand them.
  • My brain is theatrical. I imagine myself as characters and wish I was them such as, Regina (Evil Queen), Blaine Anderson, Beyoncé, and Christina Aguilera.
  • I don’t have many male role models. I look up to strong independent women because I still have male trust issues.
  • I love villains so much more than good guys.
  • I hate the fact that I can’t wear what I want without backlash.
  • I wish I could be shown that love really does exist. I’m starting to believe it’s a sham.

  • I wish I could be in more musicals that I liked like Rocky Horror Picture Show,
  • I wish more people like Joan Rivers existed, it made the world understand how awful and stupid it was.

  • I hate that the arts are under-appreciated by the general public in public schools.
  • I hate people who push their beliefs on others.
  • I hate that people feel the need to kill people to “fix” their causes. Why can’t we just be civil and diplomatic.
  • I hate that people are so petty that Congress can’t even appoint a new justice.
  • I hate how Mike Pence has basically stripped the power from Glinda Ritz because he knows she is right.
  • One Direction sounds better broken up.
  • Beyoncé is my spirit animal.
  • My attitude is an outward façade. I care about things more than I put off.
  • I hate unresolved conflict.
  • I love murder mysteries because I like to learn about the killers and their thinking.
  • Once Upon A Time is my favorite show, just because it makes you feel like you could live there.

  • I don’t do well with “Grace in the face of Ignorance”.
  • I wish the world was more colorful. Grey is boring and gross.

  • I love being the “bad countries” during Model UN. I love raining of people’s parades.
  • I wanted to be a cheerleader when I was younger.
  • I hate the color yellow on anybody. It looks gross. Wear orange or purple instead.
  • Never watched Harry Potter all the way through. I fall asleep. Same with Lord of the Rings. #Bored
  • I wish more people like Ellen DeGeneres existed. Be kind to one another.

  • Clingy and protective is attractive in a person.
  • The fact I don’t have an actual bed at home kind of depresses me.
  • “The Devil Wears Prada” was my dream scenario when I was a kid. Own a fashion company, be famous, have assistants, etc.
  • President Obama is cooler than people give him credit for.
  • I feel like there are more people that let me down every day than keep their word.
  • I feel like keeping a child’s love is more than just showing up once every 27th event.
  • If people really cared about family, we would all be together more than just 3 holidays.
  • Money and property does not make you more important to a family than anyone else. It makes you a jerk if you flaunt it and oppress others from the same.
  • I had a crush on my old young guard instructor.
  • I hate being told what to read. I understand and learn more when I read freely and read about what I want to read about.
  • Meditation has done wonders for me.
  • I feel like if you care about something truly, you will continuously go back for it.
  • I feel like the ego far outweighs the talent of some athletes I know.
  • I will gladly smile to your face and internally rip your heart out, if I truly don’t like you.
  • I feel like my kindness and willingness to help is taken advantage of.
  • I feel like there are people meant to speak who don’t and people who speak who shouldn’t.
  • I feel like hard work does not always pay off.
  • I have learned not to get too attached to anything because it can leave just as fast as you found it.
  • I feel like people sometimes place too high of goals on others.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
