I was born into a world where it's wrong to love the same gender. I've always been told that "those people" need mental help. I have grown up my whole life going to church, going to conversion camps, to be safe, my parents said. I don't understand why it's so wrong. I guess I have bias now because I'm in a secret relationship.

I've been with a girl for 2 years now, the sweetest girl ever. Her name is Ivy. Ivy has the most gorgeous long curly brown hair, dark brown chocolate eyes, glasses, olive skin, and the cutest face. I felt guilty hiding her from my parents especially since she's out to her parents. But I have good reasoning. If I told my parents, there's a good chance they'd disown me. I want to live happily with her and I don't want to marry a man, but I may have to and it's killing me. 

Sorry, I've forgotten to introduce myself. My name is Daisy. I'm 18 years old. My parents are insanely homophobic if you haven't guessed already. Ivy's parents are accepting. We met online and were long-distance for 2 years, but we met in real life and it's great so far. But I have so much guilt in the back of my mind, wondering why did this love have to be forbidden for me?
