2018

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone stayed safe and had an amazing night. New Year's Eve was probably one of the most fun and unexpected nights of my life. This entry isn't going to have some deep philosophical or emotional meaning to it. I just wanted to relay my New Year's experience. December 30th was a rough day for me. I had to do a lot of soul searching and I talked to a lot of different people. I was so confused about what I wanted and how I wanted to approach the New Year. I was invited to a club in Providence, Rhode Island but wasn't sure if that was what I wanted to do. Clubs and I haven't exactly been friends considering a lot of the things that have happened to me at them. However, I decided to go as long as one of my friends stuck with me the whole night to keep the strangers at bay. My roommate is very big in the gay community scene and he's been told time and time again that his roommate, me, is not real and just a catfish. New Year's Eve was my first public club appearance in over 4 years and it was probably one of the best experiences of the year.


I had been talking to one guy who I've been friends with on social media for the longest time, but had never actually met in person. Turns out that we were both going to Ego for New Year's and said we would finally meet up. I always thought he was cute and we share a ton of the same interests so I was excited to finally meet him. There was instant chemistry when we met. We both had a few drinks in us but nonetheless the mutual attraction was there. A bit later in the night we saw each other again and he was just looking at me. I made a move for the first damn time in my life and I got that New Year's Kiss that I wanted. The place was so packed that we lost sight of each other and couldn't find each other again. So many people were in the club that neither of us had service. Having never been the one to have the balls to do something like that, I of course overthought the whole thing and was wondering if I had made a terrible mistake. However, we've been talking since and it was the highlight of our night.

I was determined to make 2018 my year because 2017 had brought me so much hell. I took a chance and it paid off and now I'm talking to someone who I really really like, and the best part is that the feeling's mutual. We both have so much in common from food to gaming, to fitness, sense of humor, and all the nerdy generational stuff that we grew up with like Yu-gi-oh and Pokémon. He has a Yugioh deck ready to duel me when I see him next. Goals. I'm excited for what the future holds. If I didn't take the chance I did a couple nights ago I wouldn't be in the position I am right now. I think this year is going to bring new and exciting things for me and a lot of the people in my life. I just needed to get that off my chest because it's been awhile since something has made me so happy to the point I need to vent about it. I hope everyone had a fantastic New Year's Eve and I hope that this year brings nothing but happiness and blessings to every single one of you.
