Unwinding after initial interview
This entry is probably going to read a bit like a journal, my friends, so if you are expecting something literary or polished, you won’t find it here. I’m unwinding from last night.
I am looking into writing my Second Attempt about gay conversion therapy and attempts. Last night I met with someone sound out this Second Attempt.

My Second Attempt?
This Thursday night I am meeting with a man who went through homosexual conversion therapy (that’s therapy where you are conditioned/treated/trained to go from having homosexual thoughts and desires to heterosexual thoughts and desires). I’m nervous to speak with this total stranger about something so personal and powerful, but I really just want to go there and hear his story. I want to know what life was like before his therapy and what made him decide to do it. I want to know what the therapy was like and how he felt during it. I want to know what life is like now and whether he feels like he is cured or if it is something he fights constantly.
If this goes well, I’d like this to be my Second Attempt. We will see.
