The emotions I feel from reading this cannot be put into words that would give them full credit. This was more than amazing. This was something that defines what it means to be a good human.
I had thought I had been hurt badly. I got picked on quite a bit. Names, food thrown at me, people used to spit on me, beat me up, grab my head and slam it into the wall - while I was taking a piss, at that. But you know what it was for? Long hair. Over and out, that's all. They didn't even know I was gay, no one did. I can only imagine what I could have gone through if they knew, because even at that point, I had a gun to my head for a moment. I gave up, so I saved myself pain, but I paid in an equivilent exchange - I paid in good memories and friends that will never happen. You didn't give up. You are stronger... you are better than me.
