32 out of 100

32 out of 100: My son hugs his friend and blows him a kiss goodbye.

His father unpacks the masculinity In his throat:

“You don’t blow kisses to little boys”

My son responds gently, a sky still instact in his mouth:

“I just wanted to love him”

His soft words harden and travel down into his fist. This is how a boy first learns to fight his own heart. - Elisabet Velasquez
