Aether: The Boy Lost to the Stars
I've always wondered how much I would have to give in order to be accepted. How pretty do I need to be. How
much makeup should I wear. How deep my voice should be. I never was able to stop and think that, for the vast majority of people, I wouldn't be enough. And I needed to process that.

Aether is a poetry book I have been writing since I was sixteen years old. At the time of writing this, I am now
Twenty-Four. I'm getting old! Even so, I wish there were things someone taught me growing up. Things like figuring out my sexuality, how to navigate my emotions, dealing with
my mental health, and so much more. I want this book to be a guide: Something a young
person can read, and experience what I went through. And, in all honesty, what I still go through.
I won't lie and say I have this entire thing figured out - but I can at least share my experience, my emotions, my mindset.... And sometimes, that's enough.

I want people, who are not LGBT, to be able to read this book, and understand what an average person in the
community goes through. Someone of a different background, different race, a different everything. I sincerely hope this collection of poems, short stories, and unhinged emotional outbursts are enough to make people stop, and think. Just to have a better community.
