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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
