At My High School Graduation, I Graduated

My Decision Not To Eat Animals Anymore Was Paramount To My Growth As A Spiritual Person. It Made Me Aware Of Greed And Made Me More Sensitive To Cruelty. It Made Me Feel Like I Was Contributing To Making The World Better And That I Was Connected To Everything Around Me. I Felt Like I Was Part Of The Whole By Respecting Every Living Thing Rather Than Using It And Destroying It By Living Unconsciously. Healing Comes From Love. And Loving Every Living Thing In Turn Helps You Love Yourself.

I Thought That If I Accomplished Enough, That Somehow I Would Be Let Off The Hook In The Future. Like I Didn’t Have To Keep Striving And Achieving Because I Had Done That Already, And It Would Add Up To Being Enough.

Life Can Take So Many Twists And Turns. You Can’t Ever Count Yourself Out. Even If You’re Really Afraid At Some Point, You Can’t Think That There’s No Room For You To Grow And Do Something Good With Your Life.

If I Was 14 And Knew Some Gay People, I Wouldn't Nearly Have Had The Struggle I Had. Our World Is Definitely Changing.

I've Had So Many Interviews Where The Last Question Is, Are You Gay? I Had To Find Very Creative Ways To Say That I Was Gay, But That I Wasn't Going To Talk About It.
