At fourteen, I don’t think we were ready to admit how big it was to come out. We were two boys saying the words casually. Terrified of how the other would react. Friendships don’t come with guarantees, even the closest ones. I know how lucky I am that neither one of us made it this epic, life-altering moment. Still, I wanted more back then. Maybe Diego did too. This is the moment we didn’t give each other then.
