"I'd rather you hate me for what I am than love me for what I'm not" - Unknown
Why I’m Here

I want to share my ideas, thoughts, criticisms, likes, and dislikes with other young people. I want to be the change that I want to see. As lame and cliche as it sounds, one person can change the world, so if we have lots of people that want to change the world, you betta believe that it's going to get changed.

Matthew Shepard- Ten Years Later

Ten years ago, I was a ten-almost-eleven- year- old boy. I loved wrestling (still do), reading, laughing, and smiling. Ten years ago I was the epitome of the wide-eyed, optimistic, little boy. Ten years ago, I knew very little about hatred and evil and sadness. Ten years ago, that changed.
