[Braden]

Oh my god, so many good memories. I think the best ones always ended up with me laughing till my belly hurt, making so many different friends, and evolving as a person. The secondary school I went to was well-known as one of the best in country, so getting in was a big accomplishment in itself.

The worst is probably having to endure the small-minded idiots who would ask "are you gay?!" all the time as if I was an alien. That was difficult because at such an age, I really had no idea myself. It definitely had a slight influence on my own perception of my sexuality, unfortunately. Only for a little while, however.
