Holding On To Heaven

  I can't believe this is happening to me.

  What started out as an innocent getting to know you conversation the day before, where incidentally we'd spoken about the most intimate part of ourselves, is today quickly becoming so much more and I’m in shock. This isn’t something I’ve done before. I didn't get close to people, especially random strangers. I had done it though, with Ryan McGregor of all people.

  The conversation from yesterday had been very real. He’s like me and even went so far as to believe I’m the answer to the prayers he made as a kid. I’ll admit, it’s a little heavy for a first date, but not something I’m fazed by. Maybe it’s because I’ve been different my entire life that it seemed sweet to me.
