No one waits forever
Have you ever noticed that the worst way to miss
someone is when he is right beside you yet you
can never have him? When the moment you can't
feel him under your fingertips, you miss him?
Have you ever wondered which hurts the most?
Saying something and wishing you had not or
saying nothing and wishing you had? I guess the
most important things are the hardest things to
say. They are the things you get ashamed of
because words diminish them. Words shrink
things that seem timeless when they are in your
head to no more than a living size when they are
brought out. Don't be afraid to tell someone you
love him. If you do, he might break your heart. But
if you don't, you might break his.
Have you ever decided not to become a couple
because you were so afraid of losi! ng what you
already had with that person? Your heart decides
whom it likes and whom it doesn't. You can't tell
your heart what to do. It does it on its own when
you least suspect it or even when you don't want it
to.
Have you ever wanted to love someone with
everything you had but that other person was too
afraid to let you? Too many of us stay walled
because we are too afraid to care too much for
fear that the other person does not care as much
or at all.
Have you ever loved someone and he had
absolutely no idea whatsoever? Or fell for your
best friend in the entire world and then sat around
and watched him fall for someone else?
Have you ever denied your feelings for someone
because your fear of rejection was too hard to
handle? We tell lies when we are afraid, afraid of
what we don't know, afraid of what others will
think,
afraid of what will be found out about us. Every
time we tell! a lie, the thing we fear grows stronger.
Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump.
Don't be a person who has to look back and
wonder what they would have or could have had.
No one waits forever.
Just finished reading the lastest book by one of my favorite gay authors: Timothy James Beck (Okay, TJB is actually four authors who group writes - I just wish my group could do that). Anyways, "I'm Your Man" is the latest installment of the TJB books. All three of the books ("It had to be you" and "He's the one" being the other two) are interconnected and each one deals with a certain relationship. The current one deals with Daniel Stephenson (an openly gay actor who plays a straight guy) and Blain Dunhill (a rather closeted ad exec). The books opens when the two break up and Blaine is approached by a female friend to have his baby. Being heartbroken and single Blaine thinks about it. Like always, this is just the start of a very funny and romantic story. Almost all of the characters are back and as usual, they give the book a great feel. I highly recommend reading this book (as well as the other two) coz it deals with not only gay issues but also of family, friends and life in general.
Huge festival and theatrical hit, Latter Days is the story of 19-year-old Elder Aaron Davis, a sexually confused Mormon missionary who moves into an apartment complex in West Hollywood with a fellow group of missionaries. There he meets a neighbor, Christian, who, on a bet, tries to seduce him. When Christian exposes Davis' secret desire, Davis rejects Christian for being shallow and empty. As each boy's reality is shattered, the two are drawn into a passionate romance that risks destroying their lives. Audiences, young and old and straight and gay, have been moved to tears by this beautiful story of the transformational power of love and family.
