        I lingered before the old golden mirror and studied my reflected image and murmured unconsciously,  "There must be strange in me".
        
        I had a normal youth, normal friends, normal life. My friends and I used to play anything under the heat of the sun until velvet darkness comes. 

        There was this guy who came into my path whom I never thought to change my life and to make me realized what world I belonged. He was a simple guy whose innocence hid behind his delightful smile. We became friends because we played the same computer game- "Mortal Combat". It was late that i knew, I liked him. It was really strange. I had an odd affection towards him. We are both men but I liked him.

       Again, I studied my reflection on the mirror. I knew it. There was really something in me that was bizarre. It was something I heard a hundred times as I eavesdropped on my friends' conversations. I had a sudden realization that I'm a homosexual and I knew that I would be for the rest of my life.
