MIST

Sighing heavily I collapsed on my bed a small smile on my face as I recalled today's events, I had gone out into town with my two best friends seeing as there was a Pride festival today and we all wanted to go. Of course I had to tell my mom we were going to a church festival and we wouldn't interact with one of those 'freaks'.

I wonder what she would do to me if she found out I was another freak. Probably nothing nice as my mom was always closed minded and if it wasn't anything to do with church or if it was a sin in her eyes then she said they should all burn in hell

Of course I don't believe that

I haven't since I was nine when my life started to change for the better, that night that we went over to the Jackson's household was probably one of the best nights in my life — not that I would ever tell my mom that — but it got me thinking about how all girls don't have to wear dresses and they can still be powerful but most of all it got me thinking about who I am and who I wanted to become

I didn't want to be Hannah anymore

I wanted to be a boy. I know it sounds crazy and if my mom ever heard my thoughts she would want me to burn in hell for even thinking just things after all a girl should never want to be a boy if she was born a girl and vice versa

So today I snuck off to my first Pride festival with the help of my friends to see if I could find anyone like me and luckily for me I found a bunch of people. I had finally found my true family and I wasn't going to give them up anytime soon

But the most important people that I met that day were two boys name Nico Di Angelo -- he was familiar it just took me a while to figure out where I knew the guy from but once I did I apologised for my mother's behaviour and we bonded over our hatred for the woman, and the shaggy blonde guy he was with was cool too, he reminded me of my loudest but caring to a fault friend Annie, a spunky small blonde who would do anything for those she loved

While Nico reminded me a lot of myself from his quiet nature down to the way he didn't really look interested in a lot of things but really he was he just didn't want to get too attached to something because if it was taken away from, he didn't know what he do with himself and I could relate to that 

But it looked like Will was helping him come out of his shell 

They said they were twenty now and each doing the things that they wanted to do without fear of someone else holding them back, they were comfortable in their own skin but it took them a long time to get there and when I asked would I ever get there this is what Nico said to me 

"One day Hannah you'll feel like you wont be able to go on and that the world is against you and that you were destined to be alone for all eternity but then you'll have a choice to make; to continue sticking it out through the hard times waiting to see if something better comes along or to end all the pain and misery your feeling. I had that choice a couple of years ago after I had just lost my sister and I'm not going to lie to you it was a dark and dangerous road but look where it got me to the boy I love and would do anything for and with a family who loves and supports me and I hope you make the same choice I made: To stay strong because I know you can do it"

Nico's words were like a blanket of relief to know that someone believed in me, even if it was just one person that made it easier to believe that one day I would become the person I was always wanted to be and it may not be an easy road and it may be challenging but one day -- maybe not even anytime in the foreseeable future I would become the person I was meant to be 

After Nico gave me a little confidence boost I introduced him and Will to my friends Annie and Monica -- the people that I could always count on no matter what -- and just like I had suspected Annie and Will got along wonderfully they were like the little drops of sunshine in the group 

We chatted and got to know each other a little more and I learned that Will was a medical student although according to Nico he doesn't need to be in training but he was quickly shushed by Will causing Nico to just roll his eyes and Nico worked with his father which I found incredibly sweet but when I brought it up he just glared at me so I thought it was best to just drop the topic and I told them about how me, Annie and Monica was about to start our junior year in September and about my passion for music and photography which had Will practically glowing (especially about the music part) and from then on Will and I had common ground and delved in talks about music -- much to the annoyance of everyone else

Eventually though we had to leave a little bit earlier because if I didn't get home soon my mom would have become suspicious and I didn't want her to start ringing me because Pride Festivals weren't exactly quiet so she may have got a clue or two and I didn't want that at least not now so saying goodbye to Nico and Will we made a promise to meet up and then I made my way home dropping Annie and Monica off along the way 

But all in all today was a good day
