Q: What is the dumbest thing you've ever done?
A: The dumbest thing that I have ever done is to have regrets and not have learned from them. To have earned more regrets after having experienced some.

Sadness, grief, disbelief, anger, joy, happiness. It's a tribute to the human spirit how many emotions we are able to experience and live with. I ( Read more... )

Q: Have you ever had your feelings hurt by an animal?
A: Yes I have. Not really by pets, but I show beef cattle in 4H and there have been a few times where I just wanted an animal to cooperate at a big show and then was hugely disappointed.

Okay, once again it's been a while since I last posted. A long while. I don't know why I keep promising myself that I will write more often and then I don't.

All Noah wanted to do was find a dark corner and escape. Away from Tony’s wandering hands. Away from Luke’s searching gaze. And away from his own insecurities and uncomfortable feelings. He was trying to feel more natural in his own skin but he felt like he was always shifting, always having to be different with different people. It was mentally ( Read more... )

Lily rushed to push Luke back onto the bed.

“I’m so glad you’re awake. Your father and I got here a little while ago and the ( Read more... )

There was tension in the air as Holden indicated for Noah to take a seat. He did, but Holden remained standing, looking towards the opposite wall.

Noah nodded. “I’m alright. He didn’t hurt me. But I’m worried about Luke, he ( Read more... )
