    About this ebook

    This journey takes readers through the many ups and downs of love for a young girl. With each stumble and heartbreak she emerges a stronger and wiser being. She embodies the definition of love. For her love is friend and foe, as it is for many people.

    The journey began as a young girl and ends as wonderful woman. A woman that has faced every emotion one could imagine. The emotions displayed are emotions that anyone, be it man or woman can relate to. It is truly a journey of the heart.

      Looking back is beautiful. As queer people, we especially deserve reflection. We exist in a world where we see queerness celebrated, but also demonised. Where who you love, how you identify, who you are at your core can be a death sentence. Our journ

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      Journey of a Young Heart - A.D. Bailey

      102 Holes and a Filter

      I wanna be free of plexy glass and guarded conversations, oversaw by stiff lifeless people. I wanna be free to do as I please with the man I love who wishes the same damn thing. I wanna be free of spys hanging on every syllable of every word, written or spoken. Free to love, touch and feel ... free to grow. I wanna be free of extreme separation with high volumes of nonsense blarring in my head. Free to dream, encourage and support how I feel is best for my distant mate. Free of orange, free of white, free of any colors that don't delight. I wanna be free of this lost system where you are not a person but a number. Free to be free and spend my life with you. Is that too much to ask on the other side of 102 holes and a filter?

      Insane Love

      T o those on the outside looking in, we'd both have to be out of our minds to love the other. A seemingly incompatible pair, good girl bad boy mix. But they don't really know us. We are as one and most times compliment the other's varying character. When you're good I'm bad and when you're bad I'm an absolute angel. Then there are those times we walk blissfully on the same accord, good or bad. To everyone else we are dangerous like bad medicine for one another. But
