I participated in therapy for the past year searching for the answers, trying to find myself, who am I as a gay male, where do I fit and what do I want in this life?

I discovered the reason for the relationship, I found the closure to a past problem that I have carried throughout my life that influenced every decision and how I reflected upon myself, it allowed me to release all the negative energy that I have been holding onto, it connected my soul back together.
