A Thousand Miles
Makin' my way downtown, walkin' fast
Faces pass, and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead just makin' a way
Makin' my through the crowd
And I need you and I miss you
And now I wonder if I could fall into the sky
Do yo think time would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
It's always times like these when I think of you
And I wonder if you ever think of me
Cause everything's so wrong and I don't belong
livin' in your precious memory
Cause I need you and I miss you
And now I wonder if I could fall into the sky
Do yo think time would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
I, I don't wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't wanna let this show
I, I don'tMakin' my way downtown,
Walkin' fast, faces pass, and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead, just makin' a way
Makin' my through the crowd
And I still need you I still miss you
And now I wonder if I could fall into the sky
Do yo think time would pass us by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Oh oh oh
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Coz you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see youIf I could just hold you tonight

"Rainbow"
So, here is how I think about homosexuality... Based on my background culture and religion, I would say that homosexuality is not "normal". I put "quotes" on it because normality is very relative, depending on people's perspective, culture, religion, and commonness. Commonness, is that a word?
Well, anyway, I say that homosexuality is not normal because I grew up in a community where homosexuality is not exposed. Frankly, I have never known any homosexual people before I came to America. Second, I grew up in a religious community. I remember that Quran mentions the indecency between two men, but I don't know exactly how are we suppose to interpret it. Click here for some more Quran quotes about homosexuality.
My friend agrees about the relativity of normality, but she said "Not normal doesn't mean it's wrong." Well, I am not sure I agree with this. I mean, what is it that make you say something is wrong? It is (again) different in different culture and custom.
I am sorry, but I think being homosexual is against the nature. I mean... men are created to be with women, water is created to overcome fire, etc etc. But, when I think about it... I realize, homosexuality comes naturally. You cannot choose who are you going to fall in love with. If you happen to fall in love with someone with the same gender, what can you do?
I was being so insensitive when I told my friend that I believe that gay people can "change" their homosexuality. My friend was outraged, I guess. She said that it's hurtful to even say that. She said that it's so hateful when people say that "straight" is normal and everyone who is not straight has to change themselves. She doesn't believe that people can truly change being gay. They can oppress and supress it until they drive themseves crazy, but someday they will act out of it. She said, "People are people, just because someone is against it, or disagrees with gay marriage, or gay people in general doesn't mean they should make them, or even tell them that they can "change". it's ridiculous to even say that"
I don't know...I am so sad to see how the way I think is so hurtful for other people...but what am I supposed to do? This is how I believe it...
I am probably now being so conservative, but I am trying my best to be open-minded. I know that nobody cares about my opinion or what I think about something, so I just say what I have in my mind.
So, after a long thought, I came to a personal conclusion. If someday I ever fall in love with a girl, I would try my best to fall out of love (even if people say it's impossible). But, I will never be a homophobic person. I totally respect all people regardless their point of view about everything, including homosexuality.
As I wrote on my previous post "Day of Silence", I hate people who discriminate gay or lesbian. I respect their choice and I don't want to hurt their feelings.
Well, yeah...that's a bit of my confusion..
God... please help me fathom this...

O yeah... related to the topic, I have a little story and pictures to share ;)
Last month, I had a trip with other NH exchangies to Provincetown, MA. Provincetown (P-town for instance) is a very neat and pretty town. It is not big but lovely. It's so nice just to walk downtown and go to the stores. P-town is wellknown as a big community of gay-lesbian. Yeah, it is very obvious. Beside there are many couples that you can meet, there are many gay-pride-flags being displayed in P-town stores and homes.

So much things to tell, so little time to write
I can't explain how I feel right now. I feel everything. Sad, happy, excited, gloomy, whatever.
These last two weeks were very hectic. I had so much things to do, mostly schoolworks. I had so many things to write here, including my trip to Provincetown, MA and New York City, also my intense e-conversation with Lucy. I just don't have enough time to do that.
My goodbyes are not gonna stop there. When I get back home, there will be a farewell party for my friends who are graduating from high school. I just get back to see them, and I have to see them leave! They're my besties,, and my school days are gonna be different without them T-T
I hope everything will be alright...
