We have three rules:One night.No kissing.No falling in love.Memories can do different things to alter our perception of reality. Attached to those memories are strings, and each string holds the emotions we felt.They can make us laugh and cry. They can anchor us. They can drag us back when all we want to do is run to the future.Memories dance in the shadows. They cast doubts over everything we know is true. Memories can break down walls and build impenetrable barriers.These memories I speak of; they’re not mine.They’re his.And I see his memories flicker beneath warm eyes.He fights with it.For me, he battles with a presence no longer here.But I can’t compete with a memory.Because his memory is her.

When Will Wright, the eighteen year old son of a small-town Arkansas sheep herder in 1905, begins reading his mother’s journal, he is inspired by its startling content to start putting his own experiences to paper for posterity. An unsophisticated but principled young man, Will is becoming increasingly aware of the hatred that exists in the world. When he begins his own journal, Will can’t know what events are to take place in the next five years – from his mother’s battle with a life threatening illness, to his embarrassments of learning how to be in love for the first time, to witnessing Charlie’s fate at the hands of the bigoted townspeople. While part of him wishes the pain in those pages didn’t exist, he knows that the original purpose for keeping the journal has been realized - to show his kin how he became the man he is. He will probably never go back through and read again the pages he’s written, but someday, someone will, and they will see that along with the hurt, Will’s life had been one that knew true joy, absolute love, and undying friendship

We longed. We lost. We loved. Desperately. I thought I had my life all figured out. But after a college football accident leaves me deaf, I was learning how to live all over again. I expected the anger, the frustration, and the struggle to readjust, but what I didn't expect to happen amongst the chaos, was to fall in love. Especially not with two men.

But when the three of us were tangled up in one another, spilling secrets in the dark, hearts beating in sync, nothing else mattered but them. We needed to break the cycle, because they deserved love... And who knows, maybe I finally did too.
