The Thirteenth Year
The number 13: there are two reasons why this number holds dear and near to me. The first being that I was born on the 13th of November and the second is today, I celebrate my 13th coming out anniversary. February 20, 2012, was a scary, yet joyous moment in my life. While many people have since stopped being friends with me because of me coming out as a gay man, there are others who love and accept me for who I am. I knew that I liked guys at a very young age, but my now estranged parents, made it difficult for me to fully express myself. I had to act and look a certain way around them. To them, being yourself is wrong and they think something is wrong with you. I had to hide my true self for about the next 20 years, because I grew up in the 90s, at a time when being gay was a taboo topic and not accepted by society.

Summer Love
James strolled through the meadow carelessly, smelling the flowers in bloom. The creek that ran through the grassland bubbled happily nearby, and the birds sang a merry summer song. All was well, and James had not a care in the world. Somehow, James knew this would be the best summer of his life.

LASER VASCULAR CENTER. Content Warning.
What Causes Varicose Veins? Varicose Veins are caused by defective valves in the vein. Blood travels back to the heart through the veins with the help of one-way valves. When these valves malfunction, blood return is slowed and venous insufficiency occurs. This results in veins stretching out more, and more valves malfunctioning.
