This pic is dedicated to the cute guy from Grindr who says he knows me but refuses to tell me who he is and won’t show his face when we chat on Grindr. For some reason he says he’s had a thing for me for several years. He came by to see me yesterday. Yes, I know who he is, even though he’s been trying to conceal it. For some reason he’s being shy towards me. I kind of understand why he’s being shy and is keeping his cards close. After yesterday, I’m pretty sure he knows that I know. We’ll see what happens next. 👀
I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's.
My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces.
