We needed time to figure out what all of this meant, how we were going to come to terms and redefine what our love was called. I learned from him that often contradiction is the clearest way to truth.

I immersed myself in books and rock 'n' roll, the adolescent salvation.

...my camera is my friend, and I take it everywhere.
