• This Is Me”: ”For the record, I am not gay and all my sexual experiences have been straight.

Why steal from the little innocents the enjoyment of a time that passes all too quickly?

  Jean-Jacques Rousseau

But love of our parents is the only love for which we are not responsible. ...And perhaps we are responsible even for the love we feel for our parents.
