"Traveling is like flirting with life. It's like saying, 'I would stay and love you, but I have to go.' "

As Tyler sits in a back pew of the small community church with the balding preacher spewing words of nothing but utter bullshit to the closed minded people sitting with their hands up as 'amen father's' echoed throughout the room, he can't help but to smile.

Tyler doesn't think all religious people are arrogant and uneducated, but he can't help but to laugh at how easy people pick a favorite sin to cast their judgement on.

There's so many things that little tattered, black leather book reads that are considered sins, but it seems like being gay is the worst.

What about gluttony, lust, greed, envy, boasting, acedia...?

Why is love in a different form so disgusting or wrong in their eyes? All consensual forms of love that acquire safety is beautiful and should be treated like a flower in spring; nurtured and encouraged to blossom at its full potential. The roots should be allowed to drill deep into the earth and sprout as it's stem grows green and healthy. The blossom itself should bloom and sprout as its petals fill with desired hues from the light pigments shining down upon its glory.

Love is so beautiful.

As the man standing on the stage before him rattles on about how his kind will be condemned to the fiery pits of hell, he can't help but to smile at the thought of Josh's lips pressed to his as his hands holds his hips closer to his in a gentle, but firm way.

With Josh's touch still freshly painted in his mind and burning in patterns across his skin, he decides there's no other place he'd rather be; even if this is an unmentioned fling they share.

All eyes turn to look at him as he stands up and walks out of the church. He could have stood up and gave a big speech about how they were wrong and being gay wasn't an abomination that will have you casted to the depths of a hell that may or may not exist, but he wasn't going to preach to people who didn't want to accept the possibility of something different.

So with his head held high, Tyler walked out of the smothering atmosphere quietly with a smile gracing his lips and a reminder to cherish Josh as long as he can.

Sometimes it's better to realize things in silence than to waste your breath on someone who refuses to hear you.

Find ways to love yourself and let the sun rain down upon you in its heavenly rays as you embrace the light pigments coloring you bright.

Wander.
