Dreams and the Psyche
Although my parents didn’t raise me with a particular religion, I was raised to be quite spiritually aware, and to be open to the concept of the supernatural – not in a ‘oh I’m a psychic’ kind of way, but more not to rely on logic alone. In other words, my parents thought me that [...]

Coming Out – Part Two!
Coming out to my parents was pretty nerve-wrecking, especially as I was only around 15 when I did it, but I didn’t come out to my school until I was 17. I couldn’t have done it in a more ironic way – in the changing room of the school’s swimming pool!
