"I wanted to, but I couldn't risk it. I thought disappearing was the only way to protect you. But I realized I was wrong. I should have trusted you."
She sighed, her heart heavy with conflicting emotions. "Ethan, I don't know if I can forgive you for the pain you caused. But I still love you. I never stopped."
He held her tighter, his eyes pleading. "I love you too, Sarah. Let me make it up to you. Let me prove that we can have a future together."
They stood there, holding each other, as the sun set over the lake. It was a new beginning, filled with uncertainty but also with hope. The love they shared had endured the test of time and mystery, and now, they had a chance to rebuild what was lost.

Dog Thirteen
Dog Thirteen June 4, 2023 Today was different. To be fair, all days are different now that I am a new dog. Every day I seem to be able to do something new- open my eyes, stand up, hobble around, wag my tail. Every day I get stronger and more comfortable in this body. It’s not bad, being a dog. Not so far, at least. I never have to go hungry, although we are feeding from our mother less and less and trying new foods that come out of a bag and a can. It’s a mixture. I wish I could tell the humans that I prefer the food from the can. I try to show them by picking out the kibble pieces and spitting them onto the ground, but they just laugh and think I am being cute. That feels frustrating, to not be understood. But I cannot stay mad for too long because the humans pick me up and pet my head and body and it makes me feel happy inside, and now that I know how to wag my tail, I try to do that a lot.

New Girl: Chapter Eight
Rebecca made her way to class, her bag strapped closely to her back, thinking back to Lucita and Cyrus and their strange relationship. It only made her think about the similarities she had with Blake. Except Blake would probably never put an arm around her possessively or look at her like Cyrus had looked at Luci. Even though it was obvious he was in complete denial of his feelings for her, Becca had seen it.

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
