GENDER

I am in love with my best friend. We spent most of our childhood together and we made
memories together. Happy memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. But sadly, his
family is against us. His family is very conservative and forbids us from seeing each other after
they found out about our relationship. They tried to separate us from each other, but our love
was more substantial, eventually, his family started to accept us and realized that even though
we are both males, we genuinely love each other, and love knows no gender. From that point
on, we started to post our experience on different platforms not to brag about our relationship
but to motivate other relationships that are complicated because they fear what society will think
of them.

SUICIDE
I am an introverted person. I stayed like this for most of my life but suddenly in my first year in
high school, a girl approached me. She is a joyous, energetic, beautiful girl with a big smile on
her face. I do not know the reason why she is talking to me but I know that for the first time in
my life, I felt like I wanted to be friends with a girl. We started hanging out and as time
progressed, we came to the conclusion that we are the exact opposite. She is lively and
talkative while I am shy and timid. Things were going smoothly–we had a good friendship and
were doing lots of things for fun, not until I had this gut feeling that I already liked her. Days
passed that felt like weeks overthinking about how I will confess my feelings to the person I will
unexpectedly have feelings for. The day came but she did not come to school that day. Then
the news came to me that she is dead, She committed suicide. All the pain from her problems
that she endures is hidden behind the smiles and energy that she has. After that day, I got
motivated to create posters on social media that state that suicide is real and we cannot judge
someone or how they feel on the way that they look and act because everybody has their own
problems and we need to be there for each other and support those who needs help.
