Let’s see, I have a love story going on, highly creative and want to do more with my life … and I’m gay. Now, my parents are good (enough) people, but I don’t want to just be in the limited focus that I am in now. You see, the way have things have been going on, I have a lot I want to do but in this environment I feel disheartened. I have a strong feeling that things will get better and I can help lots more people when I am outside. The question is, what do I need to do to prepare to live on my own?
