Everyone is unique. Everyone is equal. Everyone has a choice.
Except Daniel.
Daniel Campbell Smith grew up being taught, by his father, that there were certain things in the world that were just simply wrong.
Religion was wrong, skin colour was wrong, alcohol was wrong, smoking was wrong, parties were wrong, certain sexualities were wrong.
He believed none of this.
Although Dan had never had the choice to make his own decisions, his father made them for him, and he hated him for it. Dan had known for a while what his sexuality was, and that his father would in no way approve, but when one day, when he sees the man who he knew would never leave his mind, would he care about all of that?
There's a couple of lines I told myself I would never, ever cross. Little did I know that I would cross them all, all at the same time. I was happy with my life, I had a boyfriend who I loved and who loved me back. But maybe that's what was the problem, it was too easy. I wasn't fully living, I was just being happy with what I had, never wanting more, never reaching for more. But I realized that he was everything that I wanted, I became greedy. We became greedy.
